Installing the car seat rear-facing WITH the car seat base:
If you are installing the car seat with the car seat base, first
install the base, and then lock the car seat on the base. You
should choose a seating location in your vehicle with either:
1.
a lower anchorage system, if your vehicle is equipped
with the LATCH system. LATCH is a term used in the
United States and stands for
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children.
2. a vehicle seat belt. If your vehicle does not have LATCH,
you must install the car seat base in a seating location in
your vehicle that has an acceptable vehicle seat belt.
Installing the car seat rear-facing WITHOUT the car seat base:
If you are installing the car seat without the car seat base,
rear-facing, you must use Side Impact Braces and should
choose a seating location in your vehicle with either:
1.
a lower anchorage system, if your vehicle is equipped
with the LATCH system. LATCH is a term used in the
United States and stands for
Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children.
2. a vehicle seat belt. If your vehicle does not have LATCH,
you must install the car seat base in a seating location in
your vehicle that has an acceptable vehicle seat belt.
The Orbit Baby Toddler Car Seat G2 is certified for use with or without the
Orbit Baby generation-one Base or Car Seat Base G2.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating position than in the front seating position
of a vehicle. If you are not sure where to install this car seat in your vehicle, refer
to your vehicle owner’s manual for seating locations recommended for car seat
use and for specific instructions about child restraint use, or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for guidance.
