INSTALLING INFANT CARRIER ONLY WITH A LAP/SHOULDER BELT
1. Position the infant carrier on a rear vehicle seat, with the
handle in the DRIVE position, with the foot end towards
the backseat, push it firmly against the vehicle seat.
2. Route the lap belt portion of the seat belt into the belt guides
on BOTH THE HANDLE AND CARRIER. Make sure the
belt is correctly routed on both sides and buckle the belt.
3. Lift shoulder belt over handle and around Carrier. Slide
a
shoulder belt into the blue Shoulder Belt Guide
Make sure the shoulder belt passes above the unfolded
telescopic Linear Side-impact Protector (L.S.P.).
4. LOCK your vehicle lap shoulder belt. Refer to
your vehicle Owner's Manual
for how your
vehicle lap and shoulder belt locks.
In many vehicles, you can switch the shoulder belt retractor into locking
mode by pulling the shoulder belt out all the way. In some vehicles the
buckle locks. Check the vehicle Owner's Manual
to see how your
system locks.
To check if the vehicle belt is locked, after you install the infant carrier, pull
up firmly on the lap belt between the Belt Guides. The belt should remain
tight if the vehicle system is locked.
5. Push Infant Carrier firmly into vehicle seat pressing down
a
near the crotch strap between the child's legs
, while
removing slack from lap belt. Repeat for shoulder belt.
6. Make sure that vehicle belt buckle and hardware
DO NOT INTERFERE with the Infant Carrier.
NEVER install this child restraint using a non-locking
vehicle lap shoulder belt. A locking clip must be used
with a vehicle belt that DOES NOT LOCK. Call the
CYBEX Customer Care Department at 1.877.242.5676 to
obtain a locking clip.

pool noodle may be placed under the Infant Carrier near
the vehicle seat back to adjust the angle. See page 45.

move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in any direction.
If the Infant Carrier moves too much, tighten the vehicle belts more
and recheck. You may try a different vehicle seat or installation
method, or both.
9. If the Infant Carrier is next to a vehicle door or panel,
extend the adjacent L.S.P. device. See page 44.
ALWAYS have the handle locked in the DRIVE position
while using this child restraint in a vehicle.
