Manual Belts

Manual lap belts are
common in the center
rear seat and can allow the
child restraint to loosen
when it is tilted or jarred.
After tightening the lap
belt securely, tilt and push
the child restraint forward
and to both sides. If no
loosening occurs, your
child restraint should be
secure.

If loosening does occur, try
the following: If the buckle
plate slides on the belt,
turn the buckle plate over.
If the buckle slides, turn
the buckle. Refasten the
vehicle lap belt.The release
button should face 

out

after twisting so that it is
easy to reach in an
emergency.

If the lap belt continues to
loosen, the child restraint
must be moved to
another location in the
vehicle. A locking clip will
not correct this problem;
see your vehicle owner’s
manual.

Thread both vehicle lap
and shoulder belts through
the slot (as shown) and
out other side. Buckle.
Pull up on shoulder belt
until all slack is out and lap
belt is tight.

Grasp both vehicle belts
together just behind the
buckle plate and unbuckle.

NOTE:

If the buckle plate

ends up behind the child
restraint, grasp the belts to
the outside of the child
restraint, as close to the
buckle plate as possible.

Thread both portions of
the vehicle belt onto the
locking clip, as close to the
buckle plate as possible.

Locking Clip 

NOTE:

You do not need a locking clip when using this

seat as a belt-positioning booster. Remove the locking clip
when the seat belt is not being used with a child restraint.
The locking clip is located on the back of the seat.

A

locking clip will not fix all types of seat belt problems.

Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle the
lap/shoulder belt. Pull on the lap belt portion. If it loosens or
slips, you must either use a locking clip to hold the seat belt
tight or move the child restraint to another seating location.
