3. Fasten the aircraft
seat belt.
4. The aircraft seat
belt must be as
tight as possible.
Route the excess
aircraft seat belt
strap back through
the forward-facing
belt path opening,
as shown. Using
your full weight,
push the child restraint firmly onto the aircraft seat
while pulling on the excess seat belt strap to tighten.
NOTE:
Because of the fixed length of aircraft seat
belts, the belt buckle could be behind the child’s
back after tightening the belt. For your child’s
comfort, Evenflo recommends cushioning the child’s
back by placing a small pillow or folded-up blanket,
or a folded-up jacket, over the belt buckle.
Check your work.
Reconnect the seat pad to the
child restraint. Try to move the child restraint in all
directions. If you can move the restraint more than
2.5 cm (1 in.) side to side or front to back at the
forward-facing belt path, the aircraft seat belt is not
tight enough, and you
MUST
install again until the
seat belt is tight.
