Safe Seat Belt Systems:
The following vehicle seat belt systems can be used with the Car Seat
provided that all of the other requirements prescribed in these
instructions, including seat position, and all instructions provided
by your vehicle’s owner’s manual are followed.
For both Toddler Use or Booster Use Mode:
Combination lap/shoulder belt with locking latch plate
• A vehicle lap/shoulder combination seat
belt with a latch plate that locks the lap
belt into position is suitable for use with
the Car Seat. 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 belt lock-off.

• A vehicle lap/shoulder combination
seat belt system with a latch plate that
can slide freely along the belt is suitable
for use with the Car Seat if it includes a
lockable retractor. Please refer to your
vehicle’s owner’s manual for additional
information on locking this style of seat
belt. This style of belt must be locked to
prevent movement of the Car Seat.

Lap Belts (manually Adjusted)
• A vehicle lap belt that is manually
adjusted and will remain tight 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. The vehicle center
rear seat belt is most often this type of
vehicle seat belt.
Lap Belts with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
• A vehicle lap belt that stays tightly
adjusted around the car seat and
cannot be lengthened once it is
fastened is suitable for use with
the Car Seat. These seat belts often
have an automatic locking retractor
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.
