Using a Locking Clip
You will rarely need to use a locking
clip except in some older vehicles.
Built-in child restraint locking sys-
tems have been required in vehi-
cles since 1996, and many vehicles
had these features even earlier. Re-
view pages 31-34 and your vehicle
owner’s manual to determine if your
vehicle belts require a locking clip.
If you need a locking clip imme-
diately, they are likely available at
an auto dealership, an auto store,
or where you purchased this child
restraint. You can call us at 1-800-
544-1108 for one.
A locking clip will not fix all types of
seat belt problems. You
MUST
have
a lap and shoulder belt to use a
locking clip.
Do not use the locking clip when
using this seat as a booster seat.
For Forward Facing installation
,
follow Pages 44-46 Warnings and
Steps 1-6 before starting locking
clip installation.

Position
Shoulder Belt
on Child
Pull up on shoulder
belt to tighten.
The shoulder belt
should lay snugly across the center of
the child’s shoulders and across the
chest and not on the face or neck.
To help position the
shoulder belt, you
may need to secure
the shoulder belt in
one of the notches
in the shoulder belt-
positioning guides.
NOTE:
Use the shoulder belt positioning
guide only if necessary to correctly
position the shoulder belt on the child.
Check periodically to ensure your child
has not moved out of position and
loosened the shoulder belt.
