Using Vehicle Lap and Shoulder Belt
1. Position Base on a forward facing vehicle seat
with the Leveling Foot toward vehicle seat back.
2. Adjust the Leveling Foot to the correct angle
for your child's size as shown on the Level
Indicator. See page 36 for more details.
3. Fully open Belt Tensioning Plate by turning
the orange Locking Lever to the
position and lifting up on the Plate.
Once open, the Belt Tensioning Plate will remain
open on its own. The Locking Lever should be in the
OPEN
position with the Plate open.
4. Pull out vehicle belt to form a single length
of about 24 inches (60 cm). Hold the
buckle Tongue in one hand and the lap and
shoulder belts together in the other.
5. Route the vehicle belts under the Belt
Tensioning Plate, and over the Belt Guides on
both sides of the Base. Buckle the belt. Make
sure the belts lay at and are not twisted.
In vehicles with longer buckle stalks, the vehicle
belt should ALWAYS be routed UNDER the tab on
the Belt Guide. NEVER place a vehicle belt over the
tab on the Belt Guide.
6. On the buckle side, rst lift up on the shoulder belt to
remove slack in the lap belt (a). Then remove slack
from the shoulder belt on the opposite side (b).
At this point, only remove slack from the vehicle
belts, being careful not to over tighten them. The
Belt Tensioning Plate will tighten the system fully.
