Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Free Sliding Latch Plate
Pull out on latch plate. If belt slides freely
through latch plate
(fig. c)
, a belt locking
device MUST be used to secure the lap belt
when tightly secured around the base.
Some vehicles have lap and shoulder belts
with free sliding latch plate that can be
converted into an “automatic locking” mode.
Always use one of the locking devices above
with these belt systems.

Combination Lap and Shoulder Belt with Locking Latch Plate
Vehicle seat belts with locking latch plates
(fig. d)
normally hold a car seat tightly. However
in some cases, the locking latch plate on some
seat belts may slip and loosen after being
buckled on car seat if positioned at a certain
angle. If this happens, flip the latch plate over
and re-buckle. Test installation again to see if
this works. If not, move car seat to another
seating location.
