path on base or car seat and buckle vehicle

seat belt.

on the Car Seat, squeeze the vehicle

shoulder belt and lap belt together just

above the buckle to prevent it from moving.

to prevent movement of the buckle.

belt by installing the Locking Clip 1/2” from

adjusted around the Car Seat. Pull firmly on

the lap belt to ensure that the Locking Clip is

locking the lap belt and remains very tight.

9.3 UNSAFE Vehicle Seat Belt Systems

DO NOT use the following types of seat belt systems with the Car Seat.

These belt systems will not hold the Car Seat securely in place at all times.

In addition, the Locking Clip provided with this product will NOT make these

belt systems safe to use. NEVER USE unsafe vehicle belts systems!
Note: LATCH can be used IN PLACE OF the following

unsafe vehicle seat belts systems if your vehicle

is equipped with LATCH anchorage system.
Lap Belts with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

DO NOT use a lap belt that stays loose after installed

and locks only in a crash or sudden stop. These lap

belts utilize an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)

and are often found in combination with motorized

shoulder belts. Because these belts will allow the Car

Seat to move about on the vehicle seat, the chance

of the Car Seat being out of the proper position in

a crash is very high. Accordingly, DO NOT use the

Car Seat with this type of seat belt system. Please

see your vehicle’s dealer or owner’s manual for

information on converting this seat belt system to one

that is acceptable for use with a Car Seat. (Fig 31-1)
Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt

with Retractor

DO NOT use a lap/shoulder belt system if the

lap belt and shoulder belt each have retractors
