If the head restraint height needs to be adjusted, lift the button at the rear side of the head restraint and move the head restraint to the proper position. Have your child sit upright in the Vivo / Vivo lite to confirm the head restraint height is correct. 12 Backrest Recline Adjustment The purpose of the backrest recline adjustment is to help the child restraint system fit flat against your vehicle's seating surfaces. However, due to great variation in vehicle seating shape and design, this child restraint is NOT suitable for all vehicle seats. Route the shoulder portion of the vehicle's 3-point seat belt through the red shoulder belt routing on the seat belt supply side of the head restraint. Route the lap belt portion of the 3-point seat belt through the red routing on the seat belt supply side of the restraint located just below the armrests. Route the lap and shoulder belt portions of the 3-point seat belt across the child and through the red routing indicator on the buckle side of the restraint located just below the armrest. Finally, fasten the safety belt buckle, and pull up on the shoulder section of the seat belt to remove all excess slack from the lap and shoulder belts The seat belts must ALWAYS be adjusted snugly across the child. Double check the seat to make sure it is squarely positioned on the vehicle seat and that the child is not pinched, squeezed or experiencing discomfort. 20 2 3 4 WARNING!DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur · Do NOT use the child restraint when the child's shoulders are even with or above the red shoulder belt routing when the head restraint is adjusted to its highest position. · Do NOT use the child restraint when the child's ear is above the top edge of the head restraint when the head restraint is adjusted to its highest position. · Do NOT use the child restraint when the child's ear is below the bottom edge of the head restraint when the head restraint is adjusted to its lowest position. · The 3-point seat belt must ALWAYS be adjusted snugly across the child. · Avoid bulky clothing so the 3-point seat belt fits snugly around the child.
