Forward-Facing Installation

LUAS Installation

Before You Begin:
• Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.
* Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their lower
anchors. Use vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for installations
with children who weigh more than the vehicle lower anchor limit.
Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle manufacturer, assume a
18.1 kg (40 lb) child is the vehicle lower anchor limit.
• Remove the lower connectors from the storage slots in the base.
Press the adjuster release button and pull the lower connector
strap to full length. Repeat for the second strap.
• Remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch and place it up and over
the child seat back.
* The Versa-Tether must be used at all times. Using the tether will
improve the stability of the child seat and reduce the risk of injury.
Check your vehicle owner's manual for tether anchor locations.
Only attach the Versa-Tether to anchor points designated to the
chosen seating position as indicated by your vehicle owner's
manual.
• Adjust this child seat to position 1 or 2 and place forward-facing
on the vehicle seat (see page 15).
* Ensure that no more than 20% or 7.6 cm (3 in.) of the base hangs
over the edge of the vehicle seat.
Install with the LUAS as shown above.
WARNING!
• Your child seat may not perform as intended if the base of the child
seat is not flat on the vehicle seat.
• Some vehicle head restraints may obstruct the harness adjuster from
reaching the highest position. If this is the case, you may need to raise
or remove the vehicle head restraint. DO NOT
force the child seat head restraint past the vehicle
head restraint. Doing so could cause the child seat
not to perform as intended.
• HUGS chest pads must be used when the child
seat is installed in forward-facing mode.

of the child seat toward you for
easier access to the vehicle lower
anchors.
NOTE: If a click is not heard when
