line is not horizontal, readjust or place
tightly rolled up towel, blanket or firm
foam (pool noodle) under end of car seat
base contacting vehicle seat back (fig. j).
If car seat cannot be adjusted to make

1. Try a different LATCH equipped seating position.
2. Try installing using the vehicle seat belt. See
“Rear-facing Installation With Vehicle Seat Belt” section.
3. Do not use this car seat.
NOTE: Vehicle must be parked on horizontal
surface and child in car seat when
checking recline angle of car seat.
Secure tether attachment strap if possible. See “Tether
Attachment Strap Installation” section (fig. k).
Attach tether hook to tether attachment strap if
possible and adjust tether to remove slack.
Check for secure installation. Gripping car seat at
top of armrest, pull car seat front to back and left to
right to check for secure installation (fig. k). LATCH
belt MUST stay tight and child restraint should not
move more than 1 inch in any direction.
- If LATCH belt does not stay tight or car seat cannot be
securely installed, try a different LATCH location or use
the vehicle’s seat belt to secure the car seat.
Recheck recline angle of car seat. Adjust if necessary.
