| Evaluation of Instructions |
|
| Securing the Child |
The restraint was not set for the smallest possible occupant. The harness is difficult to adjust for child's growth. Multiple actions are required to convert the seat to the rear-facing mode; these must be followed in the manual. When disassembling for cleaning, mandatory pieces to the restraint must be removed and could be misplaced. |
| Installation Features |
It may be uncomfortable for larger hands to route the seat belt or LATCH belt through the belt path. Interference is possible between a seat component and the belt routing system. A printed/molded line is present on the restraint that must be leveled to the ground. The restraint is equipped with hook-style LATCH attachments which may require twisting to remove from the lower anchors in the vehicle. There is no dedicated storage area for the LATCH attachments. |
