What Seating Location Should I Use?

Which Installation Method Should I Use?

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

Tight™ LATCH. Both are equally safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

Vehicle Seat Belt: Review section 8 and your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to

install your car seat with the vehicle seat belts.

LATCH: The EZ Tight™ LATCH allows you to securely attach your safety seat in your

car without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get a better fit. All 2003 and newer

model year vehicles are required to have a LATCH system, although some manufacturers

began including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the term ISOFIX to

identify the LATCH system.

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.

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.

Review section 8-B, 8-C of this manual AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

LATCH consists of lower anchors and top tether anchors, 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. Top tethers are 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-C & 4-C of this manual

AND your vehicle owner’s manual.

EZ Tight™ LATCH

EZ Tight™ LATCH consists of two lower anchors, which

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

are built-in your car seat.

Review section 3-B & 4-B of this manual AND your

vehicle owner’s manual.

EZ Tight™ LATCH can ONLY be used if the vehicle LATCH

anchor spacing is 11 inches (28 cm) from the center

of one LATCH anchor to the center of the other LATCH

anchor.

Does Your Car Seat Fit Your Child Correctly?

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

understand all of the actions you need to take to properly adjust the car seat

to fit your child.

Harness Height, Rear-Facing(A)

Harness straps at or just below the child’s

shoulders and

top of head must be at least 1”

(2.5 cm) below the headrest adjustment lever

(B).

Review section 5.

Buckle Position (C)

The correct slot is the one that is closest to

your child without being underneath them.

Review section 5.

Harness Tightness (D)

If your fingers slide off the harness straps

without pinching the straps, it is tight enough.
