Forward Facing Car Seats - Installation
Before you install:
Read the car seat owner’s manual and the child restraint section of the vehicle manual before attempting an installation.
With the seat:
Check labels to determine the correct belt path.
Pick a method: seat belt or LATCH, not both.
If using the seat belt, it must be locked when used with a car seat. See the vehicle manual for instructions.
Make sure the seat is secured and tight in the vehicle with less than one inch of side-to side movement. Check this by placing hands at the belt path and pulling.
Attach the top tether with every installation; seat belt or LATCH.
You may need to try several times before you have an acceptably tight installation – keep at it!
With the child:
Shoulder straps must be AT or ABOVE the shoulders
Make sure nothing is behind or under the seat or child—no bunting, blankets or bulky clothing.
Place the chest clip at armpit level.
Harness must be flat and smooth—no twists.
Harness must be snug. If it can be pinched at the shoulder, tighten the harness.
If in doubt, call us at 888-VMT-SEAT or your local fitting station for assistance.
