Lap belts with retractors

(fig. d)

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.
