LATCH: One LATCH strap with a single adjuster is located on back of restraint. For rear-facing installation, move LATCH strap into rear-facing belt path after attaching base and anti-rebound bar (see Other section for installation of anti-rebound bar). Discontinue use of lower anchors when rear-facing child reaches 35 lbs. For forward-facing installation, move LATCH strap to

forward-facing belt path (no base, no anti-rebound bar, but adjustable bottom lowered if child over 25 lbs.). Discontinue use of lower anchors when forward-facing child reaches 40 lbs. Always use SafeStop for forward-facing LATCH installations with child 22 - 40 lbs. Lower connectors may be used in booster mode. Tether: Yes, for forward-facing use.

############# VEHICLE SEATING LOCATIONS VEHICLE SEATING LOCATIONS

The safest seating position is one that works best for your specific child restraint, family and vehicle model.

################ !

Before installing this child restraint you must determine the method of installation and the best vehicle seating position for that method. This child restraint can be installed either using LATCH/UAS or the Vehicle Seat Belt. DO NOT install using both methods at the same time.

When determining whether the child restraint can be used with vehicle LATCH/UAS anchors in the rear center seating position, it is critical that you refer to your vehicle owner’s instruction book. If the child restraint does not install best in the rear center seating location, it is recommended to move to one of the outboard seating positions.

INSTALL CHILD RESTRAINT CORRECTLY NEVER PLACE THIS CHILD RESTRAINT REAR-FACING IN A VEHICLE SEATING LOCATION WITH AN ACTIVE FRONTAL AIR BAG. If the airbag inflates, it can cause

serious injury or death to your child. For vehicles with side air bags, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for information on your child restraint installation.

Vehicle LATCH/UAS Anchors

diono.comRadian 3RXT Safe+20 21

############# VEHICLE SEATING LOCATIONS LATCH/UAS

The following types of vehicle belts CANNOT BE USED with your child restraint. If any of the belt types listed below are in the chosen seating position, you MUST choose another seating position or use LATCH/UAS if available. Please refer to your vehicle owner's manual for specific information about seat belts and their use with child restraints.

################# WHAT IS LATCH/UAS?

Most vehicles manufactured after September 1, 2002 are equipped with: U.S.: LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) Canada: UAS (Universal Anchorage System)

Check your vehicle owner’s instruction manual to determine LATCH/UAS lower anchor compatible seating positions. Some vehicles owner’s manuals use the term “ISOFIX” instead; LATCH/UAS can also be used in vehicle seating positions that are equipped with ISOFIX. Look for the LATCH/UAS symbol that may be visible by the crease of the rear seats.

WARNING: DO NOT USE the LATCH/UAS strap to attach this child restraint rear-facing when restraining a child weighing over 35 lb (15.8 kg) or forward-facing when restraining a child weighing over 40 lb (18 kg). Install using the vehicle seat belt.

DO NOT install using both LATCH/UAS connectors and the vehicle seat belt at the same time.
