Lap/Shoulder Belt Installation - Rear-Facing/Forward Facing Modes
How to Lock Your Lap and Shoulder Vehicle Seat Belt
Sliding Latch Plate and Switchable
Retractor
A latchplate that slides freely on the belt
webbing and cannot, by itself, hold the belt
snug around a car seat.
When installing the car seat, route the vehicle
seat belt through the proper belt path and
buckle it in. Slowly pull the shoulder belt all
the way out to switch it to locking mode.
Then, as you pull the vehicle seat belt tight,
feed all the slack back into the retractor.
Grab the sides of the seat at the belt path and
slide the seat side-to-side and front-to-back. The
seat should not move more than 1” (2.5 cm).
Note: With the vehicle seat belt in this
locking mode, all the tension is upwards in
the shoulder belt. This may start to tilt your
car seat sideways when rear-facing. If this
happens, use a locking clip instead of this
switching the retractor. See Sliding Latch Plate
and ELR Retractor.
Note: When using the
lock-off, you do not need
to switch the retractor.
The lock-off locks the
seat belt.
