Installing Child Restraint Rear-facing
in Aircraft
4. Check your work.
Reconnect the seat pad to the front of the child restraint.
With your hand holding the seat shell at the rear-facing
belt path, as shown, try to move the child restraint from
side to side. Then, holding the seat shell at each rear-
facing belt path, try to move the restraint from front to
back.
If you can move the child restraint more than 25 mm
(1 inch) from side to side or front to back
at the belt
path
, the aircraft seat belt is not tight enough, and
you
MUST
install again until the seat belt is tight.

3. Fasten the aircraft
seat belt, then
remove all slack
from the belt.
The aircraft seat belt
must be as tight as
possible. Using your full
weight, push the child
restraint firmly onto the
aircraft seat while pulling
on the aircraft seat belt
to tighten. Route the
excess seat belt strap
through the forward-
facing belt path opening.
Note:
Because of the fixed length of aircraft seat belts, the
belt buckle could be behind the child’s back after tightening
the belt. For your child’s comfort, Evenflo recommends
cushioning the child’s back by placing a small pillow or
folded-up blanket, or a folded-up jacket, over the belt buckle.
General
IMPORTANT:
Before installing the child restraint, make
sure the
aircraft seat is in a fully upright position.
Note:
You may need to route the Lower Anchor
Connector Assembly through the rear-facing belt path, if
it interferes with the aircraft seat belt (p. 22).
After landing, refer to page 32 for vehicle installation.
