LEVELING THE CARRIER
STEP 1: Place the carrier rear-facing on the vehicle seat.
STEP 2: Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground and the red line
on the carrier is level to the vehicle floor.
DETERMINING BEST INSTALLATION METHOD
If your vehicle does not have the LATCH System in your preferred seating
position, the car seat must be secured to the vehicle using a vehicle seat
belt. The car seat with the base or without the base can be secured using
vehicle seat belts. There are two methods of carrier only installation:
LAP/SHOULDER STANDARD ROUTING METHOD: Installation with
both the lap and shoulder belt. (proceed to pg. 27)
LAP ONLY METHOD: No shoulder belt is used. This method applies
to vehicle with no shoulder belt and aircraft. (proceed to pg. 29)
