Setup and Installation

1. Willow Infant Car Seat Installation

The Willow Infant Car Seat features ClickTight Technology for secure installation. It is designed for infants weighing 4 to 30 lbs and up to 32 inches in height.

1. With Aspen Base (LATCH or Seat Belt): Place the Aspen base firmly on the vehicle seat. Open the ClickTight panel. Route the vehicle seat belt or LATCH connectors through the designated path. Close the ClickTight panel until it clicks, ensuring a secure installation. Verify the base is tightly secured and does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
2. Without Base (Seat Belt): For installation without the base, route the vehicle seat belt through the extra belt path on the back of the car seat. Secure the car seat tightly with the vehicle seat belt.
3. RightSize System: Adjust the harness and headrest to ensure a proper fit for your child. The RightSize system provides adjustment points at the hips, shoulders, and between the legs for optimal positioning. The harness straps should be at or below your child's shoulders when rear-facing.

2. Stroller Features

• Reclining Toddler Seat: The toddler seat can be reclined to multiple positions, allowing your child to rest or sit upright. Adjust the recline mechanism located at the back of the seat.
• Water-Resistant UPF 50+ Canopy: The large canopy provides protection from sun and light rain. It includes a flip-down sun visor for additional coverage and a peek-a-boo window to check on your child.
• Large Cargo Basket: A spacious basket located under the seat provides storage for essentials. It is easily accessible from the front and rear.
• Parent Cup Holder: Attach the cup holder to the side of the handlebar for convenient access to your beverage.
• Child Snack Tray: The child tray swivels out of the way for easy child entry and exit. It provides a surface for snacks and drinks.
• One-Step Compact Fold: To fold the stroller, engage the folding mechanism (refer to the specific instructions on the stroller frame). The stroller folds compactly and stands on its own, even with the toddler seat and snack tray attached.
