To check which type of retractor your lap/shoulder belt is equipped with:
1. Slowly pull the shoulder belt all the way out until it stops.
2. Allow the shoulder belt to pull back in about 6 in. (15 cm).
3. Pull out on shoulder belt again:
– If the belt is locked and will not pull out again, it is equipped with a SLR.
– If the shoulder belt pulls out again, it is equipped with an Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR).
• If the lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a Switchable Locking Retractor (SLR), it can
be used to secure this car seat with or without the Base.
• If the lap/shoulder belt is equipped with an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR):
– It can be used to install this car seat with the Base.
– It can be used to install this car seat without the Base ONLY if the lap belt stays
tightly adjusted around the Carrier when you check for secure installation. If it
does not stay tightly secured around the Carrier, then a locking clip may be used
to obtain a secure installation. Contact Clek Customer Service to purchase a
locking clip.
NOTE:
Some lap/shoulder belts are equipped with a locking latchplate, which holds
the lap portion of the belt at a fixed length when the belt is pulled tight. This type of
lap/shoulder belt can be used to secure this car seat with or without the Base.
