Locking Latch Plate
and ELR Retractor
A latch plate that holds
the lap belt snug after
it has been adjusted;
contains a metal bar
on the underside of the
hardware that “locks”
the belt in position.
When installing the car
seat base, route the
vehicle seat belt through
the proper belt path and
buckle it in. Then, pull
upwards on the shoulder
belt so that the lap belt
gets tight around the
base or car seat.
Grab the sides of the base
or seat at the belt path and
slide side to side and front
to back. The base or seat
should not move more
than 1” (2.5 cm).
Note:
When using the base,
remove all the slack from the seat
belt. The lock-off locks the seat
belt.
