installation with a lap vehicle seat
belt. Measure restraint angle
from vehicle floor.
1. Confirm detachable base is
securely attached to restraint
bottom. (see page 13)
2. Place restraint in proper
rear-facing position:
Restraint bottom and base are both flat on the vehicle seat
with front of restraint against the back of that vehicle seat.
(Fig. 1)
Rear–facing angle can be adjusted by using optional top
tether shown in blue in Fig. 1
(see page 28 for top tether

.
Note: It may be necessary to move vehicle front seats slightly
forward to fit a rear-facing restraint at correct angle.
3. Route seat belt through
rear-facing belt path. (Fig. 2)
Confirm seat belt lays flat and
is not twisted.
