The shoulder belt should lay snugly

To help position the shoulder belt, you
may need to secure the shoulder belt
in one of the notches in the shoulder
belt-positioning guides.

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.
Using a Locking Clip
31
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 19-21 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 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 Forward Facing installation
, follow Pages 28-29
Warnings and Steps 1-5 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.
