Checking Buckle Position
26
WARNING:
The position of the vehicle belt
buckle can affect the stability of the child
restraint. In an accident, an improperly
positioned buckle could become loose
and the child would be unprotected.
If the buckle lies near the position marked
as wrong ( ) when the vehicle belt is tight-
ened, try fitting the child restraint in another
seating position in the vehicle.
If it is not possible to achieve the correct
position ( ) for the buckle, then another
seating position MUST be used.
IMPORTANT:
Check that the child restraint
is secure before each trip.
IMPORTANT: This child restraint
can be used in the upright or full
recline position with children up to
33 pounds (15 kg), and upright
position only with children above
33 pounds.
Pull the recline handle, then slide
the restraint shell into the desired
position. Release the recline
handle, then verify that the child
restraint has locked into position.
