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.
If you have an ELR lap and shoulder belt, review the “Vehicle Latch
Plate” section to see if you need a locking clip.
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.
