Removal • If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether® from the tether anchor. • Release each LATCH harness from the LATCH anchor by pressing the red release button on the LATCH connector. • When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors in storage pouches sewn in cover above rear-facing lock-offs. D E 11 Installation: Rear-Facing Lap-Shoulder Belt Installation • Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing lap-shoulder belt installation. • When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors in storage pouches sewn in cover above rear-facing lock-offs. Place the child restraint rear-facing and in full recline position on the vehicle seat. Lift cover to access rear-facing lock-off farthest from where the vehicle belt will be buckled (Fig. B). Open lock-off. Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it through the first rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C). (The vehicle belt can be routed over or under the cover.) Route vehicle belt behind and under the buckle strap, then through the second rear-facing belt slot. Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted, then buckle (Fig. D). Push the restraint firmly into the seat while removing slack from the lap portion of the vehicle belt, then the shoulder portion (Fig. E). Position both sections of vehicle belt through the rear- facing lock-off farthest from vehicle buckle, then close lock-off arm (Fig. F) and replace cover. Lock-off is properly closed when a positive click is heard. To prevent breakage, never extend the lock-off arm beyond its natural open position and always keep 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 activated. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine the type of retractor your vehicle has. A B C 12 Installation: Rear-Facing Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and the child restraint is stable. The restraint is stable when it cannot be moved front to back or side to side more than 1 inch (2.5 cm.) at the belt path. NOTE: When properly installed in the rear-facing position, the back angle of the child restraint should be 30.-40. from vertical (not to exceed 45. from vertical) when the car is parked on a level surface. The rear-facing installation is always improved by the use of the Versa-Tether®. (See pages 23-25.) The proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled towel or pool noodle in the crease of the vehicle seat to help level the child restraint's base. If there is a problem stabilizing the child restraint, tighten the tether as described on page 24, using anchor point 3. WARNING: DO NOT raise the base beyond horizontal or off of the vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the protection for the child and may damage the recline adjustment. Removal Release Versa-Tether, if used, then reverse the above directions. D E F 13 Installation: Rear-Facing Lap-Belt Installation • Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing lap-belt installation. • When not in use, always store LATCH connectors in storage pouches sewn in cover above rear-facing lock-offs. Place the child restraint rear facing and in full recline position on the vehicle seat. Lift cover to access rear-facing lock-off farthest from where the vehicle belt will be buckled (Fig. B). Open lock-off. Pull the vehicle belt out, then pass it through the closest rear-facing belt slot (Fig. C). • The vehicle belt can be routed over or under the restraint cover. Route vehicle belt behind and under the buckle strap, then through the second rear-facing belt slot. Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted, then buckle (Fig. D). Push the child restraint firmly into the vehicle seat while removing slack from the vehicle belt. Position the vehicle belt through the rear-facing lock-off farthest from the vehicle buckle, then close lock-off arm (Fig. E) and replace cover. • Lock-off is properly closed when a positive click is heard. • To prevent breakage, never extend the lock-off arm beyond its natural open position and always keep lock-off closed when not in use.
