Before installing the Base with vehicle
seat belts, please read the “Vehicle Seat
Belts Overview”, starting on page 21.
1. Install the Base without the Infant
Car Seat docked. If it is attached,
fi
rst remove the Infant Car Seat.
2.
CHECK
that the Base StrongArm
is reset to zero (Photo N). If not,
then turn the StrongArm Knob
counterclockwise until the zero is
visible.
3. Remove the LATCH Belt from the
Lock-Off Clamp. (Note: The LATCH
Belt is permanently tethered to the
Base). Store the LATCH Connectors
in the Base for safety when they are
not in use (Photo O). Each LATCH
Connector will
CLICK
securely into
its own storage slot.
Installing the Base: With
Vehicle Seat Belts
(Photo M), and repeat Steps
2 to 13. The towel should be
compressed as the StrongArm
tightens the Base into place.
- Try installing the Base in a
different seating position.
- Contact your vehicle dealer for
assistance and possible LATCH
modi
fi
cation parts.
- Seek assistance from one of
the resources in the “Need Help
Securing Your Infant Car Seat
and Base?” section (page 44).
The Base must be properly level for
the Infant Car Seat to be safe. An
Infant Car Seat that is too reclined
can result in ejection during a crash,
and an Infant Car Seat too upright
can cause breathing dif
fi
culties.
Do not use this Infant Car Seat and
Base until they are safely installed.
