How to Lock Your Lap/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. If this happens, use a locking clip instead of switching
the retractor. See Sliding Latch Plate and ELR Retractor.
Locking Latchplate and ELR
Retractor
A latchplate 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, 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 car seat.
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).
