LATCH Installation
Figure 1 illustrates a typical rear-facing
LATCH installation.
IMPORTANT! Verify that your vehicle is
equipped with lower anchors. If lower anchors
are not installed, you must use vehicle belt
installation methods (see pages 18–23).
1. Lift up cover from seat and remove lower hook
strap and lower hooks from storage slots (Fig. 2).
Route one hook through each rear-facing belt path
(Fig. 3)
.
Replace cover.
2. With the restraint in the reclined position, place it
rear-facing in the vehicle seat.
3. Press and hold the lower adjuster release button,
then pull to lengthen lower hook strap to full
length.
4. Verify that the lower hook strap is not twisted, then
attach the left lower hook to left lower anchor in
desired seating position (Figs. 4 and 4a)
.
Pull on
lower hook to confirm attachment to lower anchor.

6. Push the restraint firmly into the vehicle seat
and pull the lower hook strap tight (Fig. 5).
7. 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 (Fig. 6)
.
