You will rarely need to use a locking clip except in some older
vehicles.
Built-in child restraint locking systems have been required in
vehicles since 1996, and many vehicles had these features
even earlier. Review pages 19-20 and your vehicle owner’s
manual to determine if your vehicle belts require a locking clip.
If you need a locking clip immediately, they are likely available at
an auto dealership, an auto store, or where you purchased this
child restraint. You can also email us at [email protected]
or 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 27-28
Warnings and Steps 1-4 before starting locking clip installation.
1.
Determine Locking Clip Position
Grasp both vehicle belts together just
behind the latch plate to mark the
position for locking clip.
Unbuckle the belt.
NOTE:
If the latch plate ends up just
at the belt path opening so you
cannot grasp the vehicle belt at the
latch plate, grasp the vehicle belts
on the opposite side of the child
restraint, as close to the latch plate
as possible.
2.
Attach Locking Clip
Thread both portions of the vehicle
belt onto the locking clip, as close to
the latch plate as possible.
Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not being
used with a child restraint.
