Installing Child Restraint Rear-facing
in Aircraft
4. Check your work.
Reconnect the seat pad to the front of the child re-
straint. With your hand holding the seat shell at the
rear-facing belt path, as shown, try to move the child
restraint from side to side. Then, holding the seat
shell at each rear-facing belt path, try to move the
restraint from front to back.
If you can move the child restraint more than 25
mm (1 inch) from side to side or front to back
at
the belt path
, the aircraft seat belt is not tight
enough, and you
MUST
install again until the seat
belt is tight.

3. Fasten the aircraft
seat belt, then
remove all slack
from the belt.
The aircraft seat belt
must be as tight as
possible. Using your full
weight, push the child
restraint firmly onto the
aircraft seat while pull-
ing on the aircraft seat
belt to tighten. Route
the excess seat belt
strap through the forward-facing belt path opening.
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.
