Not all vehicle belts will work with this infant restraint. This
infant restraint must be tightly locked in place at all times,
during travel. You must determine if your vehicles belts are
compatible with this infant restraint.
Vehicle Belts
• Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
You MUST have a vehicle lap belt to install any infant restraint.
An automatic (passive) shoulder vehicle belt may or may not
have a separate vehicle lap belt. Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual.
• Vehicle belts in center of the
door or side panel
You must move the infant restraint to
another seating location. Consult your
vehicle owner’s manual.
• Vehicle belts that are in front of
the seat bight
You may need to move the infant
restraint to another seating location.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Do Not Use with inflatable seat belts
You may need to move the infant restraint to another seating
location or use UAS belts only.
• ELR (Emergency Locking
Retractor) vehicle belts
These lap and shoulder vehicle belts
only lock in a sudden stop or crash, and
do not properly secure a infant restraint
alone. Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual.
To learn if you have this type of vehicle belt, gently pull the
vehicle belt all the way out of the retractor (spool), let it return
several inches, then pull on it again.
D. General Vehicle Installation
Vehicle Belts
If UAS is not an
option, you must use
the vehicle seat belt
system to install the
infant restraint. There
are some vehicle belts
that will not work with an infant restraint or will require
special attention.
See next section and check your vehicle’s owner’s
manual for specific instructions.

The UAS
The Universal
Anchorage System
(UAS) is for installing
infant restraints
without using vehicle
seat belts.
The UAS can ONLY
be used in vehicles
that have the UAS anchor bars installed and designated
UAS seating positions. Most vehicles manufactured after
September 2002 are equipped with UAS.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating
positions may be equipped with UAS.

Choosing UAS or Vehicle Belts
UAS Anchor Bars
Do not use both the UAS belt and vehicle belt
at the same time.
When installed properly, either the UAS or Vehicle Belts will
secure the infant restraint equally.
