INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK
Perform this test EVERY TIME you drive with your child
and whenever you readjust the child restraint as your
child grows:
Rock the child restraint back and
forth and side to side to make sure
the LATCH or vehicle seat belt does
not lengthen or loosen, and the child
restraint does not move easily ❶.
The back of the child restraint (connection point) should
not move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in any direction.
If the child restraint is loose or not properly secured,
repeat procedure OR find another location for the child
restraint (see "Choosing an appropriate vehicle seat
location", pg. 12).
FAILURE TO FASTEN AND TIGHTEN THE HARNESS
SYSTEM CORRECTLY MAY CAUSE THE CHILD TO BE
EJECTED FROM THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN CASE
OF A SHARP TURN, SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH
CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. In a crash,
the child restraint will provide NO protection for your
child unless the harness straps are properly secured.
DO NOT mistake comfort for safety. Harness system
MUST be snugly adjusted. Follow these instructions
carefully.
