Securing Your Child
Before you begin:
• If your vehicle seat back is adjustable, ensure it is in the
upright position before placing the child seat on the vehicle
seat.
• Adjust the child seat to the upright position and place
forward facing on the vehicle seat, if not already installed
(see page 14).
1 Adjust the head restraint so
the bottom of the shoulder
belt guides are in the closest
position at or above the
child’s shoulders. The child’s
ears should be below the top
of the head restraint.
3 Fasten the vehicle belt across
the child.
* The lap part of the vehicle belt
must be routed low across the
child’s upper thighs.
2
Pull the vehicle belt out
and route the shoulder part
through the shoulder belt
guide.
TIP: Raising the head restraint to the
highest position will allow for
easier access to the shoulder
belt guide.
