VEHICLE SEAT BELTS
(continued)
With Harness System:
Pull on latch plate (fig. a). If belt slides freely
through latch plate, a locking clip MUST be
used. (See “Locking Clip”section.)
Without Harness System:
This vehicle seat belt system is OK to use with
booster car seat.
Movement of the seat belt through the latch
plate can allow an active toddler to slide down
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:
Install car seat and adjust lap/shoulder belt
snugly around child.
Hold seat belts together at latch plate
(fig. b - page 23) then unbuckle.
Slide locking clip on seat belts approximately
1/2 inch (1 cm) away from latch plate (see
illustration page 23).
Re-buckle seat belt.
