restraint, the lock-off is ALWAYS used to
secure both belts of the lap or lap/shoulder
belt.
1. Place the base in a rear-facing position
on a vehicle seat.
2. Open the lock-off and route the vehicle
belt through the belt path and over the
lock-off.

4. Buckle the vehicle belt. Make sure the buckle
tongue goes into the correct buckle
. The seat
belt should not be twisted or turned.
5. Tighten the vehicle seat belt. Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual and the instructions in “6.2.2 SAFE Vehicle
Belt Systems”, page 29-31, on tightening your vehicle belt when
using the infant restraint without base.
To create a secure installation, push down
hard with your free hand in the infant
restraint
and pull and tighten the
vehicle belt.
6. Test infant restraint for secure installation
as described in infant restraint “Final Safety
Check” page 42.
