Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for your child's safety. This car seat can be installed using either the vehicle's LATCH system or the vehicle's seat belt.
Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the car seat and base for any signs of damage or missing parts. Do not use the car seat if any damage is observed.
Base Installation (LATCH System)
- Position the car seat base on the vehicle seat where it will be installed.
- Locate the lower anchor connectors on the car seat base and the lower anchors in your vehicle's seat bight (the crease between the seat back and cushion).
- Attach the lower anchor connectors to the vehicle's lower anchors. Ensure both connectors are securely latched.
- Press down firmly on the car seat base while pulling the LATCH strap to tighten the connection. The LockStrong™ belt tensioning system will assist in achieving a secure fit.
- Verify the installation: The base should not move more than 1 inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
