Using a Locking Clip
4. Buckle Vehicle Belt
5. Position Shoulder Belt
on Child
Pull up on shoulder belt to tighten.
The shoulder belt should lay
snugly across the center of the
child’s shoulders and across the
chest and not on their face or
neck.
To help position the shoulder
belt, you may need to secure the
shoulder belt in one of the two
shoulder belt-positioning guides
behind headrest pad.
NOTE: Use the shoulder belt positioning guide only if necessary
to correctly position the shoulder belt on the child.
Check periodically to ensure your child has not moved out of
position and loosened the shoulder belt.
You will rarely need to use a locking clip except 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. Review pages 29-30 and your vehicle owner’s manual to
determine if your vehicle belts require a locking clip.
If you need a locking clip immediately, they are likely available at an
auto dealership, an auto store, or where you purchased this child
restraint. You can also email us at consumer@djgusa.com or call
us at 1-800-544-1108 for one.
A locking clip will not fix all types of seat belt problems. You MUST
have a lap and shoulder belt to use a locking clip. Do not use the
locking clip when using this seat as a booster seat.
For Rear Facing installation , follow Pages 38-40 Warnings and
Steps 1-5 before starting locking clip installation.
For Forward Facing installation , follow Pages 47-48 Warnings
and Steps 1-4 before starting locking clip installation.
1. Determine Locking Clip Position
Grasp both vehicle belts together just
behind the latch plate to mark the
position for locking clip.
Unbuckle the belt.
NOTE: If the latch plate ends up just
at the belt path opening so you
cannot grasp the vehicle belt at the latch plate, grasp the vehicle
belts on the opposite side of the child restraint, as close to the
latch plate as possible.
2. Attach Locking Clip
Thread both portions of the vehicle
belt onto the locking clip, as close
to the latch plate as possible.
