Lock-off is properly closed when a positive

To prevent breakage, never bend the lock-
off arm up or down.
8 Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and
the child restraint is stable.
•
Installation can be improved by the use of the Versa-Tether
®
(see pages
23–25).
NOTE:
•
The back angle of the child restraint should not exceed 45º
when properly installed in the rear facing position.
•
If there is a problem stabilizing the child restraint, place a rolled
towel in the crease of the vehicle seat to help level the child
restraint base.
WARNING: Only raise restraint as described above. Do not raise the
restraint off of the front edge of vehicle seat; doing so will reduce
the protection for your child.
