Rear-Facing UAS Installation
for children 5 to 45 lbs (2.3 to 20.5 kg)
WARNING:
• You must use restraint rear-facing if child weighs less than
22 lbs (10 kg).
• Detachable base must be used with rear-facing restraint.
• Do NOT use SafeStop™ with rear-facing child.
Fig. 1 shows a typical rear-facing installation with UAS. Measure
restraint angle from vehicle floor.
1. Confirm detachable base is securely attached to restraint
bottom (see page 13).
2. Confirm vehicle seating location has its own UAS anchors (see
vehicle owner’s manual). If it does not, you must use vehicle
seat belt for installation (see pages 16 and 18).
3. Locate UAS connectors secured in storage compartment on
restraint back. Press red release button to remove each lower
connector and webbing. Slide the narrow lower connector
lanyard strap out of the plastic strap guides on side of seat.
4. Place restraint in proper rear-facing position:
Restraint bottom and base are
both flat on the vehicle seat
with front of restraint against
the back of that vehicle seat.
(Fig. 1)
Rear-facing angle can be
adjusted by using the optional
top tether shown in blue in
Fig. 1
(see page 28 for top tether
instructions)
.
Note: It may be necessary to move vehicle from seats slightly
forward to fit a rear-facing restraint at correct angle.
