7. Push Base against vehicle seat back. Tension
the LATCH strap by pulling on the LATCH Strap
Tensioning Loop. Tuck the loose end of the strap
under the base so it WILL NOT INTERFERE with
the closing of the Belt Tensioning Plate or the
connection of the Infant Carrier to the Base (a).
At this point, the LATCH strap should be taut. The Belt
Tensioning Plate will tighten the system fully.
8. Press the Belt Tensioning Plate down with both
hands, where indicated, until it locks into place.
The
ORANGE
Locking Lever will rotate to the
CLOSE position when the Plate is locked.
If Belt Tensioning Plate does not lock, try loosening
the LATCH strap slightly.
9. Grab the Base at the Belt Guides and pull from
side to side and front to back to make sure it is
installed correctly. The base should not move
more than 1 inch (2,5 cm) in any direction.
If the Base moves too much, tension the LATCH Strap
a little more and try again. After this, if the Base still
moves too much, you may need to try a different
vehicle seat or installation method, or both.
10. Check that the Recline Angle is appropriate for
the child's weight. If not, remove Base, adjust
recline angle and reinstall, see page 36.
NEVER LEAVE an empty child restraint unsecured in
your vehicle.
BEFORE each use, ALWAYS CHECK that the child
restraint is tightly secured in the vehicle seat.
