E. Installing Rear Facing

Tuck Loose End of Belt  

You 

MUST

 tuck loose end 

of the LATCH belt back 
through the belt path 
hole.

6.

 

Check Belt Tightness   

Grasp the base 

at the 

belt path with one hand. 

Push and pull the child 
restraint from side to 
side, forward and back. 
The child restraint should 
not move more than 1 in. 
(2.5 cm).

NOTE:

 If it moves more 

than 1 in. (2.5 cm), try 
reinstalling the child 
restraint or try another 
seating location.

Attach Carrier to Base

Secure child in child 
restraint

Align the notches in the 
front of carrier with the 
base lock bar. 
Push down firmly to lock. 
You will hear a “click” 
when it is locked. Pull up 
on carrier to make sure it 
is locked.

8.

 

Failure to securely attach carrier to base 

can result in serious injury or death.

Check Angle 
Indicator

Check the angle 
indicator while parked 
on level ground. The ball 
should be in the zone 
that matches the weight 
of your child. 

Repeat steps 3-8 if 
not reclined correctly 
and adjust base if 
needed 

(see section 

C-8).

You may need to place 
a large rolled towel or 
foam pool noodles under 
the front of the base to 
achieve correct recline 
angle. 

Check often to be sure 
padding is still in place 
and the belt is tight.
