Ch oosin g LATCH or Veh icle Belts  
Th e LATCH System  
Kn owin g You r Veh icle Belts  
Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint. You  
must determine if your vehicles belts are compatible with  
this child restraint. If you will use the LATCH system,  
refer to the LATCH section.  
ELR - Em ergency Locking Retractor Belts  
Definition:These belts only lock in a sudden stop or crash.  
To see if you have this type of belt, pull on the lap belt, let  
it return part way, then pull on it again. If it moves freely, it  
is an ELR belt and the child restraint could work loose  
during normal driving. Refer to your vehicle owners  
manual.  
Some ELR belts will convert to Automatic Locking  
Retractor (ALR) belts if you pull the belt all the way out.  
Refer to your vehicle owners manual.  
ELR shoulder belts either require a locking clip or cannot  
be used with any child restraint. Note:You may use an  
ELR lap and shoulder belt when using this seat as belt-  
positioning booster; no locking clip is required.  
LATCH means Lower  
Anchor bars  
Anchors and Tethers for  
CHildren. Not all vehicles  
manufactured before  
September 2002 were  
equipped with LATCH.  
The LATCH system allows  
a child restraint to be  
secured in the vehicle  
without using the vehicle  
belt system and can ONLY  
be used in vehicles that  
have the anchor bars  
installed.  
ELR lap-only belts must be replaced with a manual belt;  
contact your vehicle dealer. A locking clip will not correct  
this problem.  
Check your vehicle  
owners manual to see  
which seating positions  
may be equipped with the  
LATCH system.  
Autom atic/Passive vehicle seat belts  
An automatic (passive) 2-point belt has no lap belt.You  
must install a lap belt to secure a child restraint.You may  
also need to install an extra lap belt for an automatic 3-  
point belt. Refer to the vehicle owners manual. A locking  
clip will not correct this problem.  
Veh icle Belts  
If LATCH is not an option,  
you will use your vehicles  
belts. There are some  
vehicle belts that will not  
work with a child restraint  
or will require special  
attention. See next page  
for specific instructions.

After tightening the lap

Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle the

Press down firmly on the child restraint and remove all the  
slack in the belt. Make sure the belt buckle is not up against  
the child restraint where the belt cannot be tightened.

Strap” sections. If you cannot secure the child restraint  
tightly, move it to another seating location.  
2. If the child restraint buckle or harness  
adjustm ent lever sticks or you cannot get the straps  
tight enough around child:  
DO NOT LUBRICATE. Check around buckle and harness  
release lever for dropped food, sticky spilled drinks, dirt,  
leaves, etc. Clean with warm water and/or remove object  
with tweezers. If you cannot get the harness to adjust and  
remain tight with the buckle securely locked, do not use the

dry. Do not use bleach or other harsh cleaners. Do not

Replace seat pad by reversing order; Starting from  
bottom of child restraint, slip pad on shell; tuck in pad  
around harness adjuster. Pull pad up and around  
headrest. Attach the elastic straps on both sides. Make  
sure pad is under headrest and replace lower harness  
guides. Put pad on headrest. Replace body pillow and  
upper harness guides. Rethread harness (see belt-  
positioning booster section).  
Straighten the harness each time you put your child in the  
seat to help prevent twisting. Lock the buckle and tighten  
harness and it will be ready for next use.  
4. If your infant sits too upright in the rear-facing  
position:  
If your vehicle seat slopes so  
much that your infant is sitting  
upright, you may place a rolled  
towel under the front of the  
child restraint so that the level  
line on the shoulder belt guide is  
level (horizontal). Check often to
