Check if Your Vehicle
Belts Will Work With This
Child Restraint
This is very important
because not all vehicle
belts will work with child
restraints.
Review section D-3 and your
vehicle owner’s manual to determine what kind of vehicle belt you have
and how to lock a child restraint in place.
Fully Recline and Place
Child Restraint in the
Back Seat Rear Facing
For children 5-22 lbs
(2.3-10 kg),
the bottom
level-to-ground line MUST be
level to the ground.
4.
For children 22-40 lbs
(10.1-18 kg) and can sit
up unassisted,
rotate the
child restraint between
the 2 level-to-ground
lines. Start by making the
bottom level-to ground-line
level, then rotate seat up.
DO NOT rotate past the top most upright level-to-ground line.
Adjust child restraint if needed.
You may need to place a
large rolled towel(s) (A)
or foam pool noodle(s)
under the front of the
child restraint to allow
the level-to-ground line
on the side of the shell
that matches your child’s
weight to be level with
the ground. Check often
to be sure padding is still in place and the belt is tight.
