D. General Vehicle Installation

Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint. This 
child restraint must be tightly locked in place at all times, 
during travel. You must determine if your vehicles belts are 
compatible with this child restraint.

Vehicle Belts

• Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts

You MUST have a vehicle lap belt to install any child restraint.  
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 child restraint 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 child 
restraint to another seating location. 
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

• 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 child restraint 
alone. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

To learn if you have this type of vehicle 
belt, gently pull the vehicle belt all the 
way out of the retractor (spool), let it 
return several inches, then pull on it 
again. If it moves freely, it is an ELR 

vehicle belt.  If it is locked and will not allow any more vehicle 
belt to come out, it is a switchable retractor.

ELR lap-only vehicle belts MUST NOT be used 
with this child restraint.

• Switchable retractor

These vehicle belts switch from ELR to ALR (Automatic Locking 
Retractor).  You must have the vehicle belts in the locking 
mode to use them.  Follow the instructions in the 
installation sections.

• ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor)

These vehicle belts lock after pulling the webbing out and 
letting the vehicle belt go back into the retractor an inch or two.  
Follow the instructions in the installation sections.

Vehicle Latch Plates

• Check the Latch Plates

Grasp the tongue portion of 
the latch plate (the part that 
goes inside the buckle) and 
pull straight out, inline with 
the vehicle lap belt.  If the 
latch plate does not slide up 
and down the vehicle belt, 
you have a locking latch 
plate.  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.

This restraint is certified for 
aircraft use only when used 
with the internal harness.  

This 

child restraint is NOT certified 
for use in aircraft when used 
as a belt-positioning booster 

because aircraft seats do not have shoulder belts.

 

Use only on forward-facing aircraft seats. Follow instructions 
for vehicle installation. Contact the airline for their specific 
policies.
