6. Remove any additional slack from the seat

belt; press downward and rearward firmly in
the center of the child restraint with your
knee to compress the vehicle seat cushion
and seatback while pulling up on the seat
belt.

7. After attaching the child restraint, test it be-

fore you place the child in it. Push it from side
to side while holding the child restraint near
the seat belt path. The child restraint should
not move more than 1 inch (25 mm), from
side to side. Try to tug it forward and check
to see if the belt holds the restraint in place.
If the restraint is not secure, tighten the seat
belt as necessary, or put the restraint in
another seat and test it again. You may need
to try a different child restraint. Not all child
restraints fit in all types of vehicles.

8. Tighten the tether strap according to the

manufacturer’s instructions to remove any
slack.

9. Check to make sure the child restraint is

properly secured prior to each use. If the
seat belt is not locked, repeat steps 3
through 7.
