Run the seat belt through the
child restraint system and
insert the plate into the
buckle. Make sure that the
belt is not twisted.

Fully extend the shoulder belt
and allow it to retract to put it

After the shoulder belt has
retracted to a point where there
is no slack in the belt, pull the
belt to check that it cannot be
extended.

If the child restraint has a top tether strap, the top tether strap
should be latched onto the top tether strap anchor. (
