Installing the Child Seat: Harness Mode
Lap Belt
Before you begin:
• Check that your vehicle has a seat belt that can be locked.
* Check your vehicle owner's manual to determine what
type of vehicle belt you have and how it can be locked
for use with child seats.
• Check that your vehicle has a top tether anchor.
* The top tether must be be used at all times when
installing the child seat in harness mode. Using the top
tether will improve the stability of your child seat and
reduce the risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner's
manual for tether anchor locations.
• Loosen the tether and place it over the child seat back to
keep it from becoming pinned between the child seat and
vehicle seat during installation.
• Adjust the child seat to desired position and place forward
facing on the vehicle seat.
