Child Seat Functions

Using the Lower Universal Anchorage System (LUAS)

The Lower Universal Anchorage System or LUAS, is a system available
on this child seat that offers an alternative to vehicle seat belt installation
methods. See pages 10 and 11 for LUAS components on this child seat.
The figure above shows typical locations for lower anchors and tether
anchors in a vehicle. Check your vehicle owner's manual to learn if it is
equipped with LUAS, the maximum weight rating for the lower anchors, and
for information on the lower anchor locations and seating positions available
for use with this child seat.
Standard vehicle seat spacing between LUAS anchors is 27.9 cm (11 in.).
This child seat can be used in a seating position with up to 50.8 cm (20 in.) of
space between the LUAS anchors if the vehicle manufacturer allows.
WARNING!
In some cases, the vehicle
head restraint can prevent the child seat head pad
from being raised high enough to properly adjust
the harness for the fit of your child when using a
forward facing reclined position. DO NOT force the
child seat head pad past the vehicle head restraint.
Doing so could cause the child seat not to perform
as intended. If the location of the vehicle head
restraint interferes with the child seat head pad,
raise or remove the vehicle head restraint. If the vehicle head restraint
cannot be removed, move the child seat to the upright position or try a
different seating location.

Using the Energy-Absorbing Versa-Tether
WARNING! Failure to follow the guidelines below may
cause the child seat not to perform as intended:
• You MUST always use the Versa-Tether when using the
child seat forward-facing. Using the tether will improve the
stability of your child seat and reduce the risk of injury.
• Attach the Versa-Tether only to tether anchors identified by
your vehicle manufacturer as tether anchorage points. Only
use the designated tether anchor for each seating position.
• If your vehicle does not currently have a tether anchor
attachment, refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact
your vehicle man u fac tur er for assistance. DO NOT modify
your vehicle without advice from your vehicle manufacturer.
• Store the Versa-Tether in the pouch on the back of the child
seat when not in use. DO NOT install the child seat with the
Versa-Tether attached to the carry clip.
