release handle located under the center of the foot end of the
Safety Seat and lifting upward on the Safety Seat. (Fig. 25-1)

their storage position inside the base
(Fig. 44-1). Place the Base in the rear-
facing position in a forward facing vehicle
seat as shown in Fig. 45-1. The Child

Safety Seat must be placed in a vehicle
seat that faces forward.
