Vehicle Seat Belts

9.2 Locking Clip Installation

Locking Clip is stored under seat pad on the right side of the

Car Seat. (Fig 29-1)

1. Route the lap portion of the vehicle combination lap

shoulder belt through vehicle belt path on base or car

seat and buckle vehicle seat belt.

2. Tighten the buckled seat belt around the Car Seat

by pulling upward on the shoulder belt while pushing

down hard on the Car Seat or base.

3. While maintaining downward pressure

on the Car Seat, squeeze the vehicle shoulder belt

and lap belt together just above the buckle to prevent

it from moving. Unbuckle the vehicle seat belt, being

careful to prevent movement of the buckle.

4. Secure the vehicle shoulder belt to the lap belt by

installing the Locking Clip 1.25 cm (1/2”) from the

buckle. (Fig 29-2)

5. Re-buckle the seat belt and check that the

seat belt is tightly adjusted and stays tightly 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.

6. A locking clip must be used with all combination Lap/

Shoulder belt installations with children weighing more

than 22 lbs. (10 kg).

Test installation to make sure Car Seat is secure. If NOT secure,

additional belt tightening is required. Repeat steps above until secure.

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: UAS can be used IN PLACE OF the following

unsafe vehicle seat belts systems if your vehicle

is equipped with UAS 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 30-1)

Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt

with Retractor

DO NOT

use a lap/shoulder belt system if the

lap belt and shoulder belt each have retractors
