Rotating the seat shell direction
The seating shell has a latch mounted underneath the seat plate. The interface on the base
is the counterpart to the latch and mates with the latch. The seating shell may be installed
so that the child can face either frontwards or rearwards. Installation is the same in ei
t
her
direction.
Using the latch lock
NOTE –
The latch under the seat plate has a lock that can be used to provide additional
securement after the seat is installed.
a. BEFORE attaching or removing the seat to or from the base, the latch lock (K) MUST
be slid to the right (unlocked position) as shown in Fig 14.
b. To prevent inadvertent activation of the seat latch, slide the latch lock to the left as
shown in Fig 15 AFTER the seat is fully secured to the base (you cannot attach seat to
base while lock is engaged).
