Get to Know Your Car Seat

What Seating Location Should I Use?

Review section 2-A to see all of the features of this car seat.

The best seating location for this car seat is one that:

• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and

• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.

Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be

installed, so be sure to check your vehicle owner’s manual for available

seating positions, if any. For example, sometimes the center rear seat has a

lap belt only vehicle seat belt, which cannot be used when this car seat is in

Booster mode.

Review section 7-B, 7-C of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

6. Attach Seat Pad Side Loops

Pull elastic loop on the seat pad through the

vehicle belt guide on side of seat and attach

to hook as shown. Repeat on other side.

Which Installation Method Should I Use?

This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the vehicle seat belt

OR the lower anchor attachment. Both are equally safe to use. DO NOT USE

BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 7 and your vehicle owner’s manual to

learn how to install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.

LATCH: The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your car seat

in your car without using the vehicle seat belt. All 2003 and newer model

year vehicles are required to have lower anchor bars, although some

manufacturers began including them earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals

use the term ISOFIX to identify them.

According to accident statistics, the safest

place for your child in any vehicle is the

back seat. The center of the back seat can

be the safest during a possible side impact.

LATCH consists of lower anchor bars and a tether anchorage bar, which

are built-in to your vehicle, and connecting hooks that are built-in to your

car seat. Lower anchors are used INSTEAD of the vehicle’s seat belt to

secure the child seat to the vehicle. The tether is used IN ADDITION to the

lower anchors OR the vehicle’s seat belt to secure a forward-facing car

seat to the vehicle.

Review your vehicle’s owner manual for exact location and use.

Review section 3-B of this manual AND

Using The Car Seat Correctly

To make sure your child is secured properly, review section 3 and 4 to fit

your child.

shoulders and top of child’s ears below top of

headrest (B). Review section 3.

The correct slot is the one that is closest to

your child without being underneath them.

Review section 3.

without pinching the straps, it is tight enough.

Review section 3.
