Mounting infant car seat onto the
adapter bar

Note: The stroller seat should be in the full recline
position with the recline strap unbuckled prior to
placing car seat on. With the car seat adapter bar
installed on the stroller, position the infant car seat
(WITHOUT CHILD) so its mounting notch aligns
with bar. The car seat will be mounted rearward
facing towards the handle of the stroller. Push
firmly down on the car seat so the bar is in contact
with the car’s seat locking device or mounting
notch (Figure J3). Note: Some car seats do not lock
onto the bar, they just rest on the adapter bar.
Using the stroller’s recline strap reverse the strap
and insert the recline strap around the tubing and
slide into the car seat’s retention slots on both
sides of car seat and buckle (Figure J4). Cinch tight
the recline strap around the car seat to anchor in
place (Figure J5). Check to make sure the car seat
is mounted securely by rocking the car seat front
to back. The car seat should not wobble. If it does
check and adjust the tension of the recline/restraint
strap and make sure that the car seat mounting
notch is resting on the adapter bar (Figure J6).

DO NOT CHECK THE CAR SEAT MOUNTING
TO THE STROLLER WITH YOUR CHILD IN THE
CAR SEAT.

WARNING: Car seats may fall forward if the

strollers retention strap is not used. Do not
use the car seat without cinching tight the
retention/recline strap around the car seat.
