The vehicle seat belt must
be as tight as possible.
Using
your full weight, push the child
restraint firmly into the vehicle
seat as you tighten the vehicle
seat belt
, as shown. Lower the
headrest pad.
Raise headrest to its highest
position (pg. 65), then lift
headrest pad away from
child restraint for easier
access. Route the lap belt
through the forward-facing
belt path and continue
through the opposite
opening of the child
restraint. Fasten the buckle.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure
the lap belt lies flat without
twisting.
DO NOT
use the lock-
off with lap belt only
installation.

Pull on the belt to make sure it's
tight and locked. If you can move the child restraint
more than 2.5 cm (1 in.) side to side or front to back
at the forward-facing belt path, the vehicle belt is not
tight enough. If you have not tightly secured the child
restraint, try again, move it to another location, or install
with the lower anchor connector assembly (pg. 40).
Continue with Step 5 (pg. 51) to attach tether strap.
