Read both manuals
Your child car seat instructions and vehicle owner’s manual explain which seating positions, belt paths, and installation methods apply to your specific equipment.
Use the right installation method
Child seats may be installed with a vehicle seat belt or lower anchors when permitted by the seat and vehicle manufacturers. Follow the stated limits and instructions for your specific seat.
Get hands-on help when needed
If an installation does not feel clear, consult a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. A technician can help you understand the instructions for your particular seat and vehicle.
