on model) while pulling on shoulder straps.
Harness slots: There are two sets of slots. Since the seat can only be used
facing forward, all slots are permitted. To change strap slot height, remove
straps from splitter plate, thread through desired slots and re-attach to splitter
plate.
Crotch strap: The crotch strap is sewn to a metal slide which must lie flat
against plastic shell under child. It is non-adjustable.
Angle adjustment: None
Belt path:
With harness: The vehicle belt is routed through the sides of the
seat behind the child (diagram 2).
Without harness: Remove the harness from the seat, and secure
the LATCH and tether hooks behind the seat shell to prevent them from
striking anyone. Use the vehicle lap-shoulder belt on child (diagram 3). Do
not use the belt guide on the side of the seat to position the shoulder belt
unless absolutely necessary for correct fit on child. Caution parent to
watch that child doesn't pull belt forward while in use, as it may not retract
into position easily when the belt guide is used.
