Switching the LATCH Connectors
The LATCH connectors will properly connect
with the LATCH anchors in the vehicle only
when the connectors are correctly aligned
and the harness is not twisted.
To ensure the LATCH connector is properly
aligned with the vehicle’s LATCH anchor,
the connector’s red release button should
face away from vehicle seat back, and the
larger of the two connector sections is on
top (Fig. D).
Lift the front of cover to access the LATCH 1
connector.
Slide both connectors through the rear-2
facing belt slots to the center of the child
seat so both connectors are on the front
side of the child seat (Fig. E).
Loosen the loop on one connector (Fig. F).3
Thread the other connector through the 4
loop created in step 3 to switch positions
(Fig. G).
Slide each connector through the 5
appropriate rear-facing belt slot to
opposite side of the child seat.
Replace the cover and continue with the 6
installation procedure.

Energy-Absorbing Tether
The energy-absorbing tether has been
designed to help indicate when child seat
has been in a moderate or severe crash and
replacement of child seat is necessary.
Figure A shows the tether when the
child seat is acceptable for continued use
(provided the child seat has not been
involved in a crash). The colored stitching
will be intact and the webbing will be held
under a tether label.
Figures B and C show examples of when
the child seat is unacceptable for continued
use. If tether label is torn, or if one or both
of the loops have pulled through the back
side of the shell and/or any of the colored
stitching has ripped, the child seat is no
longer acceptable for use.
IMPORTANT: Discontinue use of child
seat if it has been involved in a moderate
or severe crash regardless of whether the
loops have pulled through the back side
of the shell and the colored stitching has
been ripped.
