to 50 lb (22.7 kg).

When checked at forward-facing belt path, this
car seat should not move more than 1 in (2.5 cm)
from side-to-side or front-to-back. If using a lap
belt only, refer to your vehicle owners manual for
installation advice.
Harness straps MUST be above the top of your child's
•
shoulders. Place chest clip at armpit level.
In forward-facing mode, the top of the car seat MUST
•
be supported by either the vehicle's head support or
the vehicle's seat back.

A gap between the car seat and the vehicle's seat
back is acceptable as long as the top is supported and
the bottom is flat on the vehicle's seat.
•
While using only the lab belt with no available top
tether, you must use the 5th harness slot with the lap
