You should not need to use a locking clip. Consult your vehicle
owner’s manual.
If the latch plate slides up and down on the vehicle belt, and you
have an ELR retractor, you
MUST
use a locking clip to install the
child restraint. You may not need to use the locking clip with a
switchable or ALR retractor. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
You will rarely need to use a locking clip except for
in some older vehicles. Built in child restraint locking
systems have been required in vehicles since 1996, and
many vehicles had these features even earlier. Check
your vehicle owner’s manual to learn how to use the
systems in your vehicle. If you need a locking clip, please
go back to the store where you purchased this child
restraint and purchase one or call us at 1-800-544-1108
to order one. Locking clips from any child restraint
manufacturer are okay to use.
Remove the locking clip when the vehicle seat belt is not
being used with the child restraint.
A locking clip will not fi x
all types of seat belt problems.
The following directions describe installing the child restraint
rear-facing. Same steps apply for forward-facing, except
install the restraint forward-facing and thread the vehicle belt
in the forward-facing belt path.
