Installation Instructions
- Prepare Vehicle Seat: Ensure the vehicle seat is clean and free of debris before placing the DuoMat.
- Position the DuoMat: Place the DuoMat on the desired vehicle seat. The backrest portion of the mat should align with the vehicle seat back, and the base portion should rest on the vehicle seat cushion.
- Secure the Mat: The non-skid backing will help keep the mat in place. For optimal stability, ensure the mat is flat and fully covers the contact area of the car seat.
- Install Car Seat: Place your child's car seat directly on top of the DuoMat. Utilize the deeper side slots to access LATCH anchors or route seat belts as required by your car seat's manufacturer instructions.
- Verify Car Seat Installation: Always follow your car seat manufacturer's instructions for proper installation and ensure the car seat is securely fastened and does not move more than one inch in any direction at the belt path.

Usage Guidelines
The DuoMat provides a protective barrier between your car seat and vehicle upholstery. Its textured top surface helps prevent the car seat from shifting during travel, contributing to a stable installation. The integrated mesh pockets located at the front of the mat offer convenient storage for small items such as snacks, toys, or wipes, keeping them organized and easily accessible for your child.

Care and Cleaning
The Summer Infant DuoMat is designed for easy maintenance. Its waterproof materials effectively prevent spills and dirt from reaching your car's upholstery. To clean, simply wipe the mat with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before re-installing or storing.

Troubleshooting
Mat Shifting: If the DuoMat appears to shift or slide, ensure it is properly positioned on the vehicle seat and that the non-skid backing is in full contact with the upholstery. Avoid placing objects between the mat and the vehicle seat that could interfere with its grip.
Car Seat Instability: The DuoMat is designed to be thin enough not to interfere with proper car seat installation. If your car seat feels unstable, re-check its installation according to the car seat manufacturer's instructions. Ensure all straps and anchors are tightened correctly. The DuoMat should not prevent a secure car seat fit.
