Information
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).
Locking Latchplate and ELR
Retractor

after it has been adjusted; contains a metal

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).
