If your vehicle is model year 1996 or newer, it likely
has a vehicle belt system that can be locked when
tightened, and will not require use of a Locking Clip.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual before
installing a locking clip.
If your vehicle requires a Locking Clip, please call
ParentLink (see back cover) to obtain a Locking Clip
and instructions on how to install and use it.
Install Locking Clip,
if necessary.
If your vehicle was built prior to
model year 1996, and has either
a lap belt or lap/shoulder belt that is
equipped with an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), you MUST use a
Locking Clip. Check your vehicle
owner’s manual to identify which
vehicle belt system is in your vehicle.
