5. Install locking clip,
if necessary.
You MUST use a locking
clip if your vehicle has:
A lap/shoulder seat belt
combination that has a
buckle tongue that slides
freely along the belt
without locking into
place; OR
Seat belts equipped with
an emergency locking
retractor (ELR). Locking Clip
installed properly
Some ELR vehicle belts can be switched so that they lock
when tightened.
It may not be necessary to use a locking
clip in these situations.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual before in-
stalling the locking clip.
To see an example of seat belt types and to properly
install a locking clip, go to p. 55.

6. Ensure child restraint is secure.
With your hand holding the seat shell at the forward-
facing belt path, as shown, try to move the child
restraint from side to side. Then, holding the seat
shell at each forward-facing belt path, try to move
the restraint from front to back.
For the child restraint to be properly secured, it
MUST NOT move more than 25 mm (1 inch) from
side to side or front to back at the belt path. If
you cannot tightly secure the child restraint, try
again or move it to another location.
