Make sure t here are no objects near t he a nchors t ha t could prevent a secure connection b etwe en the ch i l d se at an d the anch ors. Move the seat belt buckle or t ongue aw ay f rom t he lower anch ors.

When not using the L A T CH syst em, all chi ld seats must be secured to the vehic le wit h t he la p pa rt of a la p/ shoulder belt . Wit h t he child sea t in t he de sired sea ting posit ion, rout e t he be lt t hrough t he child seat a ccor ding to the seat maker’s instructions, the n in se rt th e l atch pl ate in to the buckle.

Since a t et her c an pr ovide a ddit ional se cur i ty to the la p/ sh o ul de r be l t inst alla tion, we recomme nd using a tet her whenever one is requ ired o r avail abl e.
Whe n a child r ea ches t he recomme nded we ight or height limit fo r a fo r w a r d - fa c i n g c h i l d s e a t , th e child shoul d sit in a back seat on a boost er se at and wea r a lap/shoulde r belt .
