Proper installation is critical for your child's safety. Always refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual for specific steps. This section provides an overview of the three installation modes.

4.1 Rear-Facing Harness Mode

For infants and toddlers weighing 5-40 lb (2.2-18 kg). This is the safest position for young children. Ensure the car seat is installed at the correct recline angle, typically indicated by a level indicator on the car seat, and that the harness straps are at or below your child's shoulders.

4.2 Forward-Facing Harness Mode

For toddlers and children weighing 26.5-65 lb (12-29.5 kg). This mode is used once your child has outgrown the rear-facing limits. The harness straps should be at or above your child's shoulders. Always use the top tether when installing forward-facing with the harness.

4.3 Highback Booster Mode

For children weighing 40-100 lb (18-45 kg). In this mode, the car seat is used with your vehicle's seat belt. The vehicle's lap belt should fit low across the hips, and the shoulder belt should rest across the center of your child's shoulder and chest. Remove the car seat harness when using booster mode.
