Child Safety
Using a Seat Belt Locking
Clip
Always use a seat belt locking clip
when you secure a child seat to
your car with a lap/shoulder belt.
This helps prevent the seat from
shifting position or overturning.
A locking clip is usually included
with the child seat. If you need a
clip, contact the seat's manufac-
turer or a store that sells child
restraints.
To install a locking clip, do the
following:
1. Place the child restraint in the
desired position. Route the lap/
shoulder belt through the
restraint according to the seat
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Pull on the shoulder part
of the belt to make sure there is
no slack in the lap portion.
3. Tightly grasp the belt near the
latch plate. Pinch both parts of
the belt together so they won't
slip through the latch plate. Un-
buckle the seat belt.
4. Install the locking clip as shown.
Position the clip as close as
possible to the latch plate.
5. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Push and pull on the
child seat to verify that it is held
firmly in place. If it is not, repeat
these steps until the restraint is
secure.
