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 manufacturer 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 manufac-
turer'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. Unbuckle
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.
