USING BUILT-IN SAFETY HARNESS ONLY:
Lap Belts (Manually Adjusted)
A lap belt that is manually adjusted and
will remain tightly adjusted around the
Car Seat while the vehicle is in motion
is suitable for use with the Car Seat. Pulling
the belt through the buckle after the buckle is
fastened tightens this type of seat belt. (Fig 28-1)
Lap Belts with Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR)
A lap belt that cannot be lengthened once
it is fastened is suitable for use with the
Car Seat. These seat belts often have
an automatic locking retractor (ALR) that
will allow the belt to be lengthened but
once fastened, must be unbuckled and
allowed to retract fully before allowing the
belt to be lengthened again. (Fig 28-2)
WITH or WITHOUT BUILT-IN SAFETY HARNESS:
Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Locking
Latch Plate
A lap/shoulder combination seat belt with a
latch plate that locks the lap belt into position
