Vehicle Safety Belts
8
NOTE: The information in this section only
applies if you are installing the child restraint
using the vehicle seat belts. If using LATCH,
this section should be ignored.
IMPORTANT: Some vehicles have no seating
positions which are compatible with this child
restraint, or any other child restraint. If in
doubt contact your vehicle manufacturer for
assistance.
The following types of vehicle seat belts are
not compatible with this child restraint:
Front seat belts with top or bottom
anchorage points in the door.
Motor driven automatic seat belts.
Three-point belts that have separate
retractors for the shoulder section and
the lap section.
Non-locking (ELR) two-point seat belts.
The owner's manual 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 anoth-
er seating position. This child restraint 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
restraints
.
The middle rear seat of most vehicles has a lap belt which most often
will work.
This child restraint can fit securely in most vehicles using the existing seat belts.
However, some types of vehicle designs prevent a secure fit of the child
restraint due to the position of the seat belt lower anchorage points.
