4.0 Selecting a Vehicle Seating Location
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.13a).
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. 13b).
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 is suitable for
use with the car seat (Fig. 13c). Once this
type of seat belt is fastened, the latch plate
prevents the lap belt from loosening. This
combination seat belt does not require a
Locking Clip.
Combination Lap/Shoulder
Belt with Sliding Latch Plate A
combination lap/shoulder belt with
a latch plate that can slide freely
along the belt (Fig. 14a), is suitable
for use with this car seat when the
belt is locked to prevent movement
of the car seat. If the vehicle belt
includes a lockable retractor, the
retractor MUST be locked or a
locking clip MUST be used. If the
vehicle belt does not include a
lockable retractor then a locking clip
(Fig. 14b), MUST always be used.
Please refer to the vehicle owner’s
manual to determine if your
vehicle lap/shoulder belt includes
a lockable retractor and how to
lock it.
