LAP BELTS - Manually Adjustable
Manually adjustable lap belts normally hold a
car seat tightly. However in some cases the
locking latch plate on some seat belts may slip
and loosen if positioned at a certain angle.
If this happens flip the latch plate over and
rebuckle.
Install car seat and test installation again to
see if lap belt stays tight.
If not, move car seat to another seating
location in the vehicle or do not use in that
vehicle.
Flipping latch plate
over in some cases
improves locking
LAP BELTS - With Retractor
Some lap belts with a retractor will not hold a
car seat securely.
Follow these steps to determine if you have a
retractor system that will hold a car seat
securely:
1. Pull belt all the way out.
2. Allow belt to retract about 6 inches (15 cm).
3. 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 the belt all the way out, buckle belt,
then tighten.
If the belt pulls out (step 3) the Retractor is an
Emergency Locking Retractor which must
NOT be used with a car seat.
