Base Installation
8 Press the base firmly into the seat while
removing slack from the lap portion of
the vehicle belt, then the shoulder
portion (fig. E).
9 Close the lock-off over the vehicle belt
(fig. F), then slide clip in to secure.

the base is stable.
• Base is tight when it cannot be moved
more than 1” (2.5 cm) at the belt path.

vehicle floor.
WARNING: Never use foot prop to raise base

reduce the stability of the base.

the release button is fully visible.
• Verify that the red line on carrier is level
with the ground.
• If angle is not correct, remove carrier and
base, then adjust recline angle as directed
on page 19.
13 Adjust carrier handle to In-Vehicle
position.
