VEHICLE SEAT BELTS (continued)

Pull on latch plate (fig. a). If belt slides freely
through latch plate, a locking clip MUST be

in car seat and re-position lap belt over
abdomen and shoulder belt over neck or face
which is dangerous.
A Locking Clip may be used on this type of
vehicle seat belt to prevent movement of seat
belt through latch plate limiting toddler’s
movement:
