Using a Lock-Off

NOTE: Using a lock-off is optional if your vehicle seat belt
system has a locking feature. See your vehicle owner's
manual for more information.
To Open:
1. Open the locking tab.
2. Open the clamp.
IMPORTANT: Both parts
of the lock-off must be
opened to secure a vehicle
belt.
To Close:
1. Close the clamp over the
vehicle belt.
2. Push down on the locking
tab where indicated until
a click is heard.

Infant Positioning Pillow

The infant positioning pillow is designed to provide better
harness fit and comfort for infants using this child seat.
IMPORTANT: The infant
positioning pillow must be
used with infants weighing up
to 10 kg (22 lbs) when using
a child seat in a rear-facing
position. Do not use over 10 kg
(22 lbs) or in a forward-facing
position.

Seat Positions

This child seat has 3 positions. To adjust, pull the recline
handle then rotate the child seat shell into the desired
position. Release the recline handle, then verify the child
seat has locked into position.
NOTE: Set the seat position BEFORE installing.

Rear-Facing
When properly installed in the rear-
facing position, the recline angle of the
child seat should be at least 30˚ for
children and up to 45˚ from vertical for
infants unable to maintain head and
neck control (not to exceed 45˚) when
the car is parked on a level surface.
Use the angle guide as a guide to achieve the proper recline
angle for rear-facing installations. The angle guide will be
parallel to the ground when the child seat angle is at the
center of the acceptable angle range (37.5˚). If necessary,
the proper recline angle can be achieved by placing a rolled
towel or pool noodle in the vehicle seat bight.
Overhang
It is important that
the base of the child
seat rests completely
flat on the vehicle
seat with no side
overhang. As seen
in the illustration,
it is permissible to
allow up to 7.6 cm
(3 in.) of the base to
hang over the front
Forward Facing
edge of the vehicle
seat. Some vehicle seats do not allow enough of the child
seat base to contact the vehicle seat. If this is the case for
a forward-facing installation, adjust the seat to the upright
position. For a rear-facing installation, choose another seating
position. Not doing so could cause the child seat to not
perform as intended.
In some cases, the vehicle head
restraint can prevent the child seat
head restraint/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 restraint/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.
