Simple operation

  1. Place the Child Restraint System (CRS) on a rear seat and route the lap/shoulder belt around or through the CRS.

  2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle.

  3. Remove as much slack from the belt as possible by pushing down on the CRS while feeding the shoulder belt back into the retractor.

  4. Push and pull on the CRS to confirm that the seat belt is holding it firmly in place.

  5. If your CRS manufacturer recommends the use of a top-tether with the lap/shoulder belt, see Securing a child restraint system seat with the "top-tether anchorage" system section in this chapter.
