Lap Belts - With Retractor
Lap belts with retractors
(fig. p)
may or may not
hold a car seat securely.
Follow these steps to determine if you have a
retractor system that will hold car seat securely:
a. Pull belt all the way out.
b. Allow belt to retract about 6 inches (15 cm).
c. Pull out on belt again.
If belt is locked and you cannot pull the belt out any
further, you have an Automatic Locking Retractor which
may be used with a car seat. Remember, when installing
a car seat, pull belt all the way out, buckle belt, and then tighten.
If the belt pulls out (step c), the retractor is an Emergency Locking
Retractor which must not be used with a car seat.
