Choosing UAS or Vehicle Belts

The UAS 

The Universal Anchorage System 
(UAS) is for installing child restraints 
without using vehicle seat belts.
The UAS can ONLY be used in 
vehicles that have the UAS anchor 
bars installed and designated UAS 
seating positions. Most vehicles 
manufactured after September 
2002 are equipped with UAS. Check 
your vehicle owner’s manual to see 
which seating positions may be 
equipped with UAS.

When installing this child restraint 
with vehicle belts or when using as 
a booster seat, the UAS connectors 
and belt MUST be properly stored.

To store UAS on this child restraint: 

Thread UAS belt through forward-
facing belt path. Then attach con-

nectors to storage attachments as shown. Gently pull free end 
of belt to remove slack. 

Vehicle Belts 

If UAS is not an option, you must 
use the vehicle seat belt system to 
install the child restraint. 
There are some vehicle belts that 
will not work with a child restraint or 
will require special attention. Check 
your vehicle owner’s manual for 
specific instructions.

WARNINGS: 

When used correctly the UAS or vehicle belts 

are equally safe. Do not use both the UAS belt and vehicle belt at 
the same time.
