Lap belts with retractors (fig. d) may or may not hold a car seat securely.
Follow these steps to determine if you have a retractor system that will hold car seat
securely:
a. Pull belt all the way out.
b. Allow belt to retract about 6 inches (15 cm).
c. Pull out on belt again.
If belt is locked and you cannot pull the belt out any further, you have an Automatic
Locking Retractor which may be used with a car seat. Remember, when installing a
car seat, pull belt all the way out, buckle belt, and then tighten.
If the belt pulls out (step c), the retractor is an Emergency Locking Retractor which must
not be used with a car seat.
