5. Route the Vehicle Seat Belt
Thread vehicle seat belt through the rear-
facing belt path (marked with a blue label)
and buckle it. The seat belt should lay as
flat as possible and not be twisted.
Note: It may be easier to route the vehicle
seat belt by lifting seat pad up to expose
the belt path.
Make sure vehicle seat belt is in front of
the buckle strap.
6. Lock the Vehicle Seat Belt
In most vehicles today, slowly pull the
shoulder belt all the way out and then let it
go back in. You will hear a clicking sound.
Slowly pull out on the belt and it should
be locked. If not, review your car’s owner
manual and section 9-F.
Review your vehicle’s owner manual for vehicle seat belt use
7. Tighten the Vehicle Seat Belt
Press down firmly in the center of the
car seat. Pull on the shoulder belt to
tighten while feeding the slack back in the
retractor.
