• If installing the car seat without the Base using an
inflatable vehicle belt, place lap belt through blue
Vehicle Belt Guides and place shoulder belt against
vehicle seat back. DO NOT place the shoulder belt
around the back of this car seat. Check your vehicle
owner’s manual for information on how to secure a
car seat with the lap portion of the inflatable belt.
Retractable Lap Belts:
Lap belt is mounted on a
retractor which automatically pulls the lap belt back in
when released, as shown in

There are 3 types of retractors: an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR), Switchable Locking Retractor (SLR) or an
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
To check which type of retractor your retractable lap
belt is equipped with:
1. Pull the belt all the way out until it stops.
2. Allow the belt to pull back in about 6 in. (15 cm).
3. Pull out on belt again:
– If the belt will not pull out again, it is equipped with
an ALR or SLR retractor.
– If the belt pulls out again, it is equipped with an
ELR Retractor.
