Step 6
Position the seat so that the Rear-Facing Level
Reference Line appropriate for the child’s
weight is parallel with the ground as shown
in Figure 55.
• If using with an infant under 22 lb (10
kg), position the seat with the more
reclined Reference Line (top line) parallel
to the ground
• If using with an older child who is over
22 lb (10 kg), position the seat with the
more upright Reference Line (bottom
line) parallel to the ground
Step 7
If installing with a lap/shoulder belt, open
one (1) Rear-Facing Belt Lock-off as shown
in Figure 56. You may use whichever Lock-off
provides the most secure installation.
NOTE: If your vehicle’s belt system is
equipped with an ELR/ALR switchable
retractor (SLR), or if you are installing with
a lap belt, you may skip Step 7, and install
your car seat WITHOUT using a Rear-Facing
Belt Lock-off. Refer to the Child Restraint
section of your vehicle manual to understand
what type of belt system your vehicle is
equipped with.
