Manual Belts
Manual lap belts are
common in the center rear
seat and can allow the child
restraint to loosen when it
is tilted or jarred. After
tightening the lap belt
securely, tilt and push the
child restraint forward and
to both sides. If no
loosening occurs, your child
restraint should be secure.
If loosening does occur, do
the following: If the latch
plate slides on the belt, turn
the latch plate over. If the
buckle slides, turn the
buckle. Refasten the vehicle
lap belt.The release button
should face
out after
twisting so that it is easy to
reach in an emergency.
If the lap belt continues to
loosen, the child restraint
must be moved to another
location in the vehicle. A
locking clip will not correct
this problem; see your
vehicle owner’s manual.

Thread both vehicle lap
and shoulder belts through
the slot (as shown) and
out other side. Buckle.
Pull up on shoulder belt
until all slack is out and lap
belt is tight.
Grasp both vehicle belts
together just behind the
latch plate and unbuckle.
NOTE: If the latch plate
ends up behind the child
restraint, grasp the belts to
the outside of the child
restraint, as close to the
latch plate as possible.
Locking Clip
NOTE: The locking clip is located on the back of the seat.
You do not need a locking clip when using this seat as a
belt-positioning booster.
Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not being
used with a child restraint.
A locking clip will not fix all
types of seat belt problems.
Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle the
lap/shoulder belt. Pull on the lap belt portion. If it loosens or
slips, you must either use a locking clip to hold the seat belt
tight or move the child restraint to another seating location.

Thread both portions of the
vehicle belt onto the locking
clip, as close to the buckle
plate as possible.
