• Switchable retractor
These vehicle belts switch from ELR to ALR (Automatic
Locking Retractor). You must have the vehicle belts in the
locking mode to use them. Follow the instructions in the
installation sections.
• ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor)
These vehicle belts lock after pulling the webbing out and
letting the vehicle belt go back into the retractor an inch
or two. Follow the instructions in the installation sections.
Vehicle Latch Plates
• Check the Latch
Plates
Grasp the tongue portion
of the latch plate (the
part that goes inside the
buckle) and pull straight
out, in line with the
vehicle lap belt. If the
latch plate does not slide
up and down the vehicle
belt, you have a locking
latch plate. You should not need to use a locking clip.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
If the latch plate slides up and down on the vehicle belt,
and you have an ELR retractor, you
MUST
use a locking
clip to install the child restraint. You may not need to
use the locking clip with a switchable or ALR retractor.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.

Vehicle Belts
• Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
You MUST have a vehicle lap belt to install any child restraint. An
automatic (passive) shoulder vehicle belt
may or may not have a separate vehicle lap
belt. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Vehicle belts in center of the door or
side panel
You must move the child restraint to
another seating location. Consult your
vehicle owner’s manual.
• Vehicle belts that are in front of the
seat bight
You may need to move the child restraint to
another seating location. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
• Do Not Use with inflatable seat belts
You may need to move the child restraint to another seating
location or use LATCH belts only.
• ELR (Emergency Locking Retractor) vehicle belts
These lap and shoulder vehicle belts only
lock in a sudden stop or crash, and do
not properly secure a child restraint alone.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual.
To learn if you have this type of vehicle belt,
gently pull the vehicle belt all the way out of the retractor (spool),
let it return several inches, then pull on it again. If it moves freely,
it is an ELR vehicle belt. If it is locked and will not allow any more
vehicle belt to come out, it is a switchable retractor.
