Information
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 this 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).
Note: When using the SnugLock
®
lock-off,
you do not need to switch the retractor. The
SnugLock
®
lock-off locks the seat belt.
