Storing the LATCH Connectors
When the LATCH connectors are not in use, lift
the child seat cover to access LATCH storage
slots (Fig. A). Fold each end of the LATCH
strap and slide each LATCH connector into the
adjacent slots.
NOTE:
Britax child seats are shipped with LATCH
connectors in the storage slots.
Recline Adjustment
Pull the recline handle then slide the child seat
shell into the desired position. (Fig. B) Release
the recline handle and verify the child seat has
locked into position.
NOTE:
If installed it will be necessary to loosen
the tether, vehicle seat belt, and/or LATCH strap
before adjusting the recline position. The tether,
vehicle seat belt, and/or LATCH strap must be properly re-tightened after
adjusting the recline position.
Using the Locking Clip
Install child seat into vehicle using instruction
through step 5 on pages 16-21 for rear-facing,
or pages 22-27 for forward-facing.
NOTE:
Clip is attached and stored on the back
of the seat.
Push the child seat firmly into the vehicle 1
seat while removing all slack first from the
lap portion of the vehicle belt, and then the
shoulder portion of the vehicle belt (Fig. A).
Hold the lap and shoulders belts together 2
just behind the latch plate and unbuckle the
vehicle belt without allowing the belt to slip
(Fig. A).
While holding the belts and latch plate, 3
thread the locking clip onto the seat belt
(Fig. B) and slide it into place near the latch
plate (Fig. C).
Buckle the seat belt with the locking clip in 4
place.
Verify that the seat belt is tight and the child 5
seat is secure.
The child seat is secure when it cannot be •
moved front-to-back or side-to-side more than
1 inch (2.5 cm.) at the belt path. If the child seat
is not secure, repeat the installation process or
use an alternate seating location.
IMPORTANT: Remove the locking clip from the
vehicle seat belt when not used with this child seat,
or the vehicle seat belt will not properly restrain a
passenger.
