Installing the Convenience Base

with the Lower Anchor Connector

Assembly

• This lower anchor connector assembly is intended

to be used

ONLY

as described in these instructions.

Serious injury or death may result from misuse.

• In addition to these instructions, read and follow your

vehicle owner’s manual regarding installation of the

child restraint and LATCH. If there is a discrepancy,

follow your vehicle owner’s manual.

•

ONLY

use for securing convenience base to vehicle

lower anchor bars.

•

NEVER

attach two lower anchor assembly connectors

to one vehicle lower anchor bar.

•

NEVER

use the vehicle seat belts when using the lower

anchor connector assembly. Using both together can

cause slack in a sudden stop or crash.

• When not in use, the lower anchor connector assembly

connectors should be securely stored in the storage

area located in the convenience base (see page 40).

Keep out of reach of children.

•

ALWAYS

be sure that the lower anchor connector

assembly connectors are fully engaged onto the vehicle

lower anchor bars by pulling hard on the lower anchor

connector assembly harness. If they are not totally

engaged, the lower anchor connector assembly system

will not secure your child restraint. Serious injury or

death may result.

•

DO NOT

use this child restraint if it moves more than

25 mm (1 inch) side-to-side or front to back at the

vehicle belt path. Serious injury or death may result

from poor installation. If you can not tightly secure

the child restraint, try again or move it to another

location.

• This child restraint

MUST

face the rear of the vehicle.

• The carrier

MUST

be locked firmly into the base.

Check by lifting up on the carrier.

•

NEVER

use this child restraint in the forward-facing

position.
