Positioning the shoulder strap height:
Determine whether you will be installing
your car seat rear- or forward-facing. Orbit
Baby recommends keeping your child in a
rear-facing position for as long as possible.
For a rear-facing installation, the shoulder
belts must be BELOW the top of your
child’s shoulders as shown in the blue
circles and in Photo A (shown without
shoulder pad for clarity). Use only the
lower three shoulder strap slots on the car
seat.
For a forward-facing installation, the
shoulder belts must be ABOVE the top of
your child’s shoulders as shown in the red
circles and in Photo B. Use one of the top
three top shoulder strap slots on the car
seat.

After determining whether you will install
the car seat rear-facing or forward-facing,
place your child in the car seat, ensuring
that they are sitting up straight and
contacting both the seat back and seat
bottom. Determine which pair of shoulder
strap slots are the correct ones for your
child’s shoulder height (Photo C).
Shoulder straps not positioned in the
correct position will not hold your child
securely in a sudden stop or crash.
Changing shoulder strap position:
1. Loosen the restraint harness by
pressing the adjuster strap lock and
pulling on the shoulder straps (Photo D).
