Unsafe Seat Belt Systems:
DO NOT use the following types of vehicle seat belt systems with the
Car Seat. These vehicle seat belt systems will not hold the Car Seat
securely in place at all times. The addition of a locking clip will not make
these vehicle seat belt systems safe to use.
Note: Latch can be used in place of the following unsafe vehicle seat
belt systems if your vehicle is equipped with latch anchorage system.
Lap Belt With Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR):
DO NOT use a vehicle lap belt that stays
loose or does not stay tightly adjusted
after installed and locks only in a crash
or sudden stop. These lap belts utilize
an Emergency Locking Retractor and
are often found in combination with
motorized shoulder belts. Because
these belts will allow the Car Seat to
move about on the vehicle seat, the
chance of the Car Seat being out of
the proper position in a crash is very high.
Accordingly, DO NOT use the Car Seat
with this type of Vehicle Seat Belt system.
Please see your vehicle’s dealer or
owner’s manual for information on
converting this vehicle seat belt system
to one that is acceptable for use with
a Car Seat.
