LATCH Installation
• Figure A illustrates a typical rear-facing
LATCH installation.
Verify that your vehicle is equipped with
LATCH anchors.
• If LATCH anchors are not installed, you
must use standard vehicle belt installation
methods.
If stored, remove LATCH connectors from
storage pouches under cover.
Press and hold the LATCH adjuster release
button, then pull to lengthen LATCH harness
to full length.
Fully recline the restraint and place it
sideways on the vehicle seat, with the front
facing toward you.
Verify LATCH harness is not twisted, then
attach the closest connector to vehicle seat
back to the farthest LATCH anchor (Fig. B).
LATCH connectors should be in an upright
position (as shown in Figure C), and strap
should be tight and not twisted to ensure
proper installation.
A positive click confirms attachment.
If LATCH connectors will not attach with a
positive click, it may be necessary to switch
LATCH connectors as shown on page 21.
Rotate restraint into rear-facing position.
Verify that the LATCH harness is not twisted,
then attach the remaining connector to the
adjacent LATCH anchor (Fig. D).

Push the child restraint firmly into the vehicle
seat while pulling each LATCH harness tight
(Fig. E).
Verify all connections are secure and the
restraint is stable. The restraint is stable
when it cannot be moved front to back or
side to side more than 1 inch (2.5 cm.) at
the belt path. Installation can be improved
by the use of the Versa-Tether
®
(see pages
23–25).
NOTE:
When properly installed in the rear-facing
position, the back angle of the child restraint
should be 30º-45º from vertical (not to exceed
45º from vertical) when the car is parked on
a level surface.
The rear-facing installation can be improved
by the use of the Versa-Tether
®
. (See pages
23-25.)
The proper recline angle can be achieved by
placing a rolled towel or pool noodle in the
crease of the vehicle seat to help level the
child restraint's base.
If there is a problem stabilizing the child
restraint, tighten the tether as described on page 24, using anchor point 3.
WARNING:
DO NOT raise the base beyond horizontal or off of the
vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the protection for the child and
may damage the recline adjustment.
Removal
•
If connected, disconnect the Versa-Tether
®
from the tether anchor.
•
Release each LATCH harness from the LATCH anchor by pressing the
red release button on the LATCH connector.
•
When not in use, always store the LATCH connectors in storage
pouches
sewn in cover above rear-facing lock-offs.
