4. See Fig. 40-2 for the proper threading of
the vehicle belt through the Base and Fig.
41-1 for the proper threading of the belt
through the Safety Seat without the Base.
5. Buckle the seat belt being careful that the
seat belt is not twisted and is securely
latched into the appropriate buckle, and
not the adjacent buckle (Fig. 41-2).
6. Proper installation of the Safety Seat
or Base requires that the seat belt be
very tight. To tighten the seat belt, push
down hard with your knee or hand on the
Safety Seat or Base while pulling and
tightening the seat belt.
Check that there
is no slack in the seat belt on either side
of the Safety Seat or Base, or anywhere
along the path of the belt, and that the
seat belt is tight from end to end.
(Fig. 41-3 and 41-4).
ONLY use Rebound or Carry
Handle positions in- vehicle.
Use Carry position for
children greater than 22 lb. or
or if feet can touch the handle
(Fig.41-3).
7. To tighten a lap belt only:
• An automatically retracted lap seat belt
is tightened by feeding belt back into its
retractor while pushing down hard on the
Safety Seat or Base. Make sure that the
retractor locks the lap belt into place and
that the belt remains very tight (Fig. 42-1).
• A manually adjusted lap seat belt is
tightened by pulling on the free end
of the seat belt while pushing down
hard on the Safety Seat or Base. If you
experience difculty tightening the seat
belt, unbuckle the seat belt, tighten the
seat belt a small amount and re-buckle
the seat belt. Repeat this procedure
until the seat belt is very tight around the
Safety Seat or base. Check that the seat
belt remains very tight around the Safety
Seat or base (Fig. 42-2).
