Position Shoulder Belt
on Child
Pull up on shoulder belt to tighten.
The shoulder belt should lay
snugly across the center of the
child’s shoulder and across the
chest and not on their face or
neck.
To help position the shoulder
belt, you may need to secure the
shoulder belt in one of the two
shoulder belt-positioning guides.
NOTE:
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
You will rarely need to use a locking clip except in some older
vehicles. Built-in child restraint locking systems have been re-
quired in vehicles since 1996, and many vehicles had these fea-
tures even earlier. Review pages 27-28 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 also 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 Rear Facing installation
, follow Pages 36-38 Warnings
and Steps 1-6 before starting locking clip installation.
For Forward Facing installation
, follow Pages 46-47 Warn-
ings and Steps 1-4 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.
2.
Attach Locking Clip
Thread both portions of the vehicle
belt onto the locking clip, as close
to the latch plate as possible.
