Using a Locking Clip
4.
Buckle Vehicle Belt
5.
Position Shoulder Belt
on Child
Slide the shoulder belt under bottom
of the Easy Out Harness Holder as
shown.
Pull up on shoulder belt to tighten.
The shoulder belt should lay
snugly across the center of the child’s
shoulder 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 make sure 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 31-32 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 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 39-41 Warnings and
Steps 1-6 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 posi-
tion 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.
