Vehicle Seat Belt Terms
9-C Vehicle Seat Belts
This car seat can be installed using a vehicle seat belt. To do this, you will need to change the
seat belt to a locked mode for use with car seats. With some vehicle seat belts, this is done
with the latchplate; with other vehicle seat belts, this is done with the retractor.
Retractor
A device that winds up the unused vehicle seat belt. It is
often hidden inside the panels on the walls of the vehicle
or in the vehicle seatback.
Latch Plate
The male end of the seat belt with
the silver tongue.
Seat Bight
The crease where the vehicle seat back
and seat bottom meet.
