Using a Locking Clip
1.
Determine Locking Clip
Position
Grasp both vehicle belts together
just behind the latch plate to mark
the position for locking clip. Un-
buckle the belt.
NOTE:
If the latch plate ends up
just at the belt path opening so you cannot grasp the vehicle
belt at the latch plate, grasp the vehicle belts on the opposite
side of the car bed, as close to the latch plate as possible.

belt onto the locking clip, as close
to the latch plate as possible.

It should be about 1 in. (2.5 cm)
from vehicle belt’s latch plate.

Rebuckle Vehicle Belt
5.
Check Belt Tightness
Hold the car bed at the belt path
with your weakest hand.
Push and pull from side to side.

try another seating location.

You will rarely need to use a locking clip except in some older
vehicles.
Built-in child restraint locking systems have been required in
vehicles since 1996, and many vehicles had these features
even earlier. Review pages 22-23 and your vehicle owner’s
manual to determine if your vehicle belts require a locking clip.
A locking clip will not fix all types of seat belt problems. You
MUST
have a lap and shoulder belt to use a locking clip.
For Side Facing installation, follow Pages 29-30 Warnings
and Steps 1-3 before starting locking clip installation.
Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not being
used with a car bed.
