Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation
Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing, lap-shoulder
belt installation.
When not in use, always store LATCH connectors in
storage slots. See page 30.
Fully recline the child seat then place it rear-
facing on the vehicle seat.
See Recline Adjustment on page 30.
Lift the child seat cover and open the rear-
facing lock-off farthest from where the
vehicle belt will be buckled (Fig. B).
Pull the vehicle belt out then pass it through
the first rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C).
Vehicle belt can be routed over or under cover.
Route the vehicle belt across child seat then
through the second rear-facing belt slot.
IMPORTANT:
The vehicle belt must rest behind the
child seat buckle.
Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted and
then buckle (Fig. D).
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle
seat while removing slack first from the lap
portion of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder portion (Fig. E).
Position both sections of the vehicle belt through the lock-off, then
close the lock-off arm and replace the child seat cover (Fig. F).
Lock-off is properly closed when a positive click is heard.
To prevent breakage, never extend the lock-off arm beyond its normal
open position and always keep the lock-off closed when not in use.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic locking retractor (ALR),
use of lock-offs is not required as long as the ALR is locked. Check your
vehicle owner’s manual to determine what type of retractor your vehicle
has, and how to lock the retractor.

Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and that
the child seat is secure.
When properly installed in the rear-facing position,
the back angle of the child seat should be 30º – 45º
from vertical (not to exceed 45º) when the car is
parked on a level surface (Fig. G).
If necessary, the proper recline angle can be
achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool noodle
in the crease of the vehicle seat to level the child
seat’s base.
Rear-facing installation can be improved by the use
of the Versa-Tether
®
see pages 25 – 28.
The child seat is secure when it cannot be moved
more than one inch (2.5 cm) front-to-back or side-
to-side at the belt path
