6 Acceptable Vehicle Belt Systems
The following belt systems are acceptable for use with your booster seat. You should refer to your vehicles owner’s manual to determine
which type of seat belts your vehicle has.
• Lap Belts-Manually Adjusted: When buckled, the belt is tightened manually by pulling on the excess belt while pushing down hard on the
booster.
• Lap Belts with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR): The automatic locking retractor will not allow the lap belt to lengthen once it is buckled.
Tighten the belt by feeding the belt back into the retractor while pushing down hard on the booster.
• Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Locking Latch Plate: Once it is buckled, this type of belt has a latch plate that will not allow the lap
portion of the belt to loosen. Belt is tightened by pulling hard on the shoulder portion of the vehicle belt while pushing down hard on the
booster.
• Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Sliding Latch Plate: This type of belt has a latch plate that slides freely along the belt. To prevent
movement of the lap portion of this type belt, the belt MUST be converted through the use of a Locking Clip, unless your vehicle belt can
be converted in another way as described in your vehicle owner’s manual.

• Tighten the buckled belt by pushing down hard on the booster and pulling hard on the shoulder belt.
• While pushing down on booster, pinch the two straps together behind the buckle tongue. Unbuckle the belt without allowing it to slip.
• Connect lap and shoulder belts with locking clip as shown. See Figure 7.1.
• Re-buckle belt. Check that the lap belt does not move by pulling and pushing hard on the booster. If belt loosens or lengthens, repeat
procedure.
