REMOVING AND STORING LATCH CONNECTORS
TO REMOVE FROM STORAGE
To install the Base using LATCH, the Connectors must be
removed from their storage compartments.
1. To access the LATCH Connector Storage compartments, squeeze
the Level Adjustment Handle to fully extend the Leveling Foot.
2. Remove each connector by pushing the
red button while pulling out.
3. Lengthen the strap between the connectors using the LATCH
Strap Adjuster located next to the connector on the right-hand
side. Push down on the Adjuster button while lengthening strap.
TO STORE
When using a vehicle belt to secure the Base, the LATCH
Connectors MUST be stored in the Base. Loose Connectors
could seriously injure vehicle occupants in the event of a crash.
1. Fully extend the Leveling Foot and fully extend
the latch strap. Slide each connector back into its
Storage slot until an audible CLICK is heard.
2. Close and Lock the Belt Tensioning Plate.
3. Remove most of the slack from the LATCH strap
by pulling on the LATCH Strap Tensioning Loop
until it lays flat on the bottom of the base.
Do not remove more slack from the LATCH Strap than necessary to
allow it to lie flat on the bottom of the Base between the Belt Guides.
4. Retract the Leveling Foot by squeezing the Level
Adjustment Handle and pushing in the Leveling Foot.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the Latch Strap when storing,
as this will interfere with the Belt Tensioning Plate
when installing the Base using vehicle belts.

USING THE LOAD LEG
The Load Leg is an effective safety feature of the Cloud Q and
using it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
However, if necessary
(e.g. in a center position with a hump in the floor), the Base may
be installed with the Load Leg folded up underneath the Base. If
ALL installation requirements for the Load Leg cannot be met,
you MUST choose another seating position, or install the Infant
Carrier without the Base.
When possible, INSTALL the Load Leg Base in a
seating position that will allow the Load Leg to be
extended into a locked position with firm contact with
the vehicle floor.
NEVER INSTALL the Load Leg Base in a seating
position where the Load Leg, even in its shortest
position, causes the Base to be pushed up above the
vehicle seat. If necessary, the Base may be installed
with the Load Leg folded up underneath the Base.
NEVER EXTEND the Load Leg Foot beyond the FIRST
hole that will lock it firmly against the vehicle floor.
TO EXTEND
1. Install the Base making sure Recline Angle is
correct for your child. See page 31.
2. Squeeze the Adjustment Handle on the Load Leg and
extend the Foot until it rests on the vehicle floor.
3. Secure the Foot into place using the first hole that will lock it firmly
against the vehicle floor without lifting the Base up off of the seat.
It may be necessary to lift up slightly on the Base to allow the Foot to
lock into the hole.
TO RETRACT
Squeeze Handle and push up on the foot to retract.
There should NEVER be
any space between the
Load Leg Foot and the
vehicle floor.
The Load Leg should
NEVER push the Base
above the vehicle seat.
Use the FIRST
hole that will lock
the Load Leg Foot
firmly against
