Protecting Children

4. After confirming that the belt is

locked, grab the shoulder part of

the belt near the buckle and pull

up to remove any slack from the

lap part of the belt. Remember, if

the lap part of the belt is not tight,

the child seat will not be secure.

To remove slack, it may help to

put weight on the child seat, or

push on the back of the seat, while

pulling up on the belt.

5. Push and pull the child seat

forward and from side to side to

verify that it is secure enough to

stay upright during normal driving

maneuvers. If the child seat is not

secure, unlatch the belt, allow it to

retract fully, then repeat these

steps.

To deactivate the locking

mechanism and remove a child seat,

unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat

belt, and let the belt fully retract.

Rear-Facing Child Seat Installation

Tips

For proper protection, an infant must

ride in a reclined, or semi-reclined

position. To determine the proper

reclining angle, check with the baby's

doctor or follow the seat maker's

recommendations.

To achieve the desired reclining

angle, it may help to put a rolled up

towel under the toe of the child seat,

as shown.
