NOTE: The information in this section only applies
to installation with vehicle safety belts.
IMPORTANT: Vehicle seats and safety belts differ
from vehicle to vehicle. Refer to your vehicle’s
owner’s manual for specific information about
vehicle safety belts and their use with child
restraints. Some vehicles have no seating positions
which are compatible with this child restraint or any
other child restraint. If in doubt, contact the vehicle
manufacturer for assistance.
This child restraint can fit securely in most vehicles
using existing vehicle belts. However, some vehicle
designs prevent a secure fit of the child restraint
due to position of the vehicle belt lower anchorage
points.
The owner’s manual for your vehicle will have
information on the types of vehicle belts in your
vehicle. If your belt type is listed below, select
another seating position or use Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH) connectors.
The following types of vehicle belts are not compatible with this child restraint:
Front vehicle belts with top or bottom anchorage points in the door. (Fig. A)
Motor-driven, automatic vehicle belts. (Fig. B)
Lap-shoulder belts that have separate retractors for shoulder section and lap section in which
lap section retractor does not lock.
Non-locking, two-point Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) vehicle belts.
Lap-shoulder ELR vehicle belts without use of the lock-off.
NOTE: Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine the kind of retractors
used in your vehicle and how to operate them.
