First note that some vehicles have no seating positions which are
compatible with the Elite (or any child seat). Read this section
carefully. If in doubt, return to your vehicle or Britax dealer for
help.
There are several types of vehicle belts that will not work with
Elite:
l
Front seat belts with anchorages (top or bottom) in the door.
l
Motor driven automatic belts of any kind.
l
Non-locking (ELR) two-point seat-belts.
l
Seat belts specified by your vehicle manufacturer as
incompatible with child seats.
The handbook for your vehicle will have information on the types
of seat belts in your vehicle. If you have belts of the above-listed
types, select another seating position. Elite will work with rear
seat three-point seat-belts with a sliding latch plate, and with rear
seat three-point seat-belts that are specifically marked as appropriate
for child seats. The middle rear seat of most vehicles has a lap belt
which most often will work with the Elite.
Your Elite can be securely fitted in many vehicles using their existing
seat-belts. However, some types of vehicle desrgn prevent you
from making a good installation due to the positron of the seat-
belt lower anchorage points (an anchorage point is the point
where your seat belt and buckle are attached to the vehicle).
