Vehicle Belts
If LATCH is not an
option, you must use
the vehicle seat belt
system to install the
base. There are some
vehicle belts that
will not work with a base or will require special
attention.
See next page and check your vehicle’s owner’s
manual for specific instructions.

Knowing Your Vehicle Belts
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for vehicle seat
belt use with child restraints. This is your best source
for information concerning your vehicle.
Not all vehicle belts will work with this base. This
base must be tightly locked in place at all times,
during travel. You must determine if your vehicle’s
belts are compatible with this base.

Do not use both the LATCH belt and
vehicle belt at the same time.
Vehicle Belts
• Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
You MUST have a vehicle lap belt to install any
base with the vehicle belts. An automatic (passive)
shoulder vehicle belt may or may not have a separate
vehicle lap belt. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Vehicle belts in center of
the door or side panel
You must move the base
to another seating location.
Consult your vehicle owner’s
manual.
• Vehicle belts that are in
front of the seat bight
You may need to move the
base to another seating
location. Consult your vehicle
owner’s manual.
•
Do Not Use with inflatable seat belts
You may need to move the base to another seating
location or use LATCH belts only.
• ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) vehicle
belts
These lap and shoulder vehicle belts only lock in a
sudden stop or crash, and do not properly secure a
base alone. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
