How to Lock Your Lap/Shoulder Vehicle Seat Belt
Sliding Latch Plate and
Switchable Retractor
A latch plate 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
base or seat at the belt
path and slide side to
side and front to back.
The base or seat should
not move more than 2.5
cm (1 in).
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
switching the retractor. See Sliding
Latch Plate and ELR Retractor.
Note: When using the base, you do
not need to switch the retractor. The
lock-off locks the seat belt.
