Forward Facing
LATCH Installation
• Figure A illustrates the forward facing
LATCH harness routing.
1
Verify that your vehicle is equipped with
LATCH anchors.
•
If LATCH anchors are not installed, you must
use standard vehicle belt installation methods.
2 If stored, remove LATCH connectors
from storage pouches under cover.
3 Press and hold the LATCH adjuster
release button, then pull to lengthen
LATCH harness to full length.
4 Place the restraint sideways on the vehicle
seat, with the back facing toward you.
•
Restraint must be in the full upright
position when installed in forward facing
mode with children over 33 pounds (15kg).
•
If installing with Versa-Tether
®
, remove
tether from pouch and loosely attach to an
approved tether anchorage point before
continuing. See pages 23–25 for complete
Versa-Tether instructions.
5 Verify that LATCH harness is not
twisted, then loosely attach the farthest
connector to LATCH anchor (Fig. B).
•
A positive click confirms attachment.
•
If LATCH connectors will not attach with a
positive click, it may be necessary to switch
the LATCH connectors as shown on page 21.
6 Rotate seat into forward facing position.
7 Verify that LATCH harness is not
twisted, then loosely attach the closest
connector to LATCH anchor (Fig. C).
•
A positive click confirms attachment.
8 Push the child restraint firmly into the
vehicle seat while pulling each LATCH
harness tight (Fig. D).
9 Verify that all connections are secure
and the restraint is stable.
•
Installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-Tether
®
(see pages
23–25).
WARNING:
Use vehicle belt (not LATCH connectors) for
installations with children weighing more than 48 pounds (21
kg). Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their LATCH
anchors. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle
manufacturer, assume a 48-pound child is the vehicle LATCH
anchor limit.
