2) Pull up on both LATCH clips until they release from their respective slots and then pull outwards to remove them from the door.
3) Next, locate and unhook the child restraint tethers if they are attached. Again, it is important that your child is correctly seated in their car seat before doing anything else. If your child is too large or too small for theircarseat, please contact Graco directlyfor assistance.
4) Insert one end of each tether into one of the new clip slots located on either side of your Ford F150 (see picture). Make sure that both ends of each tether are inserted completely into their respective clip slots before rehooking them into place (see picture).
Warning
If you’re installing a Graco car seat in a forward-facing configuration in an F-backward vehicle, follow these steps:
1. Loosen the shoulder harnesses and remove the infant insert.
2. Install the car seat base in the vehicle’s rear facing position. The shoulder belts should be snug but not too tight.
3. Lean the child sideways against the vehicle and install their upper body restraints into the slots on either side of the car seat base.
4. Reattach the infant insert by threading it through one of the belt loops on top of the restraint panel and then tightening it down with a screw clamp ( Figures 1, 2 ). The strap should dangle over one shoulder or below waist level ( Figure 3 ).
5. Tighten both shoulder harness straps to ensure a good fit, making sure that they overlap each other by about 2″. Do not tighten them so much that they cut off circulation to your child’s arms ( Figures 4, 5 ).
