Rear-Facing Installation
Non-Locking ELR Lap-Shoulder Belt
Installation Using a Locking Clip
Figure 1 illustrates a typical rear-facing installation
using the vehicle’s non-locking lap-shoulder belt
and a locking clip.
IMPORTANT! When installing the restraint with vehicle
belts, store the lower hooks in storage slots under cover
(see page 16, Fig. 2).
1.
Remove the locking clip from the user guide
storage bag.
With the restraint in the reclined
position, place it rear-facing in the vehicle seat. Lift up
the seat cover to expose the rear-facing belt path.
2.
Pull to fully extend vehicle lap-shoulder belt. With
shoulder and lap portion of vehicle seat belt together,
route through the rear-facing belt slot, behind the buckle
strap and through the other rear-facing slot (Fig. 2).
3. Verify that the vehicle belt is not twisted, then buckle
(Fig. 3). Pull on the vehicle belt to make sure it is
securely buckled.

4.
Push restraint firmly into the vehicle seat, while remov-
ing slack from the vehicle lap-shoulder belt (Fig. 4)
.
5. Hold the lap and shoulder belts together behind the
latch plate and unbuckle (Fig. 5)
.
6. Thread the locking clip onto both belts (Fig. 6),
placing it within 1/2 inch of the latch plate (Fig. 7).
7. Buckle the belt again. The belt should be tight around
the restraint. If not, remove the locking clip and repeat
Steps 2–7.
8.
Verify that all connections are secure and the restraint
is stable. A secure restraint should allow no more than
1 inch of side-to-side or forward movement at the belt
path (see “Check Buckle Position” on page 30).
IMPORTANT! When correctly reclined, the red
line on the shell will be level with the ground and
the back angle of the child restraint should be
approximately 45°.
If there is a problem achieving
the back angle, place a rolled towel under the front
of the base to help level the restraint
(see page 19,
Fig. 5).

Only raise base as described above. Do
not raise the base off of the front edge
of vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the
protection for your child.
WARNING
Always use in reclined position in rear-
facing mode. See page 10.
