The manual storage location may not be obvious, and some may find it difficult to use. No full picture exists of a properly restrained child next to sizing information in the owner's manual. Supplemental sizing information is given in text only in the manual. Methods of installation for this mode of use are not depicted and labeled in full. The section describing vehicle seat belt types is incomplete and may be missing information. The user may need to read text in the manual to route the seat belt or to use the lower attachments. |
| Securing the Child |
The restraint did not arrive fully assembled for the youngest occupant. The harness must be rethreaded to adjust height for the child's growth as well as for reassembly after cleaning. While disassembling for cleaning, mandatory pieces may become loose and could be misplaced. There are no illustrations on the child restraint showing how to convert this restraint to this mode of use. The LATCH belt must be rerouted to convert the restraint to this mode of use from another mode. The harness must be reinstalled into the restraint to convert to this mode of use from booster mode. |
| Installation Features |
There is no guidance on the seat regarding the proper installation angle for recline when used in this mode. There are less than three levels of built-in recline available. LATCH attachments have buttons to depress for removal. |
