Not all vehicle belts will work with this child restraint.
You must determine if your vehicles belts are
compatible with this child restraint. If you will use the
LATCH system, refer to the LATCH section.
ELR - Emergency Locking Retractor Belts
Definition: These belts only lock in a sudden stop or
crash. To see if you have this type of belt, pull on the
lap belt, let it return part way, then pull on it again. If
it moves freely, it is an ELR belt and the child restraint
could work loose during normal driving. Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual.
ELR shoulder belts either require a locking clip or
cannot be used with any child restraint.
Note: You may
use an ELR lap and shoulder belt when using this child
restraint as belt-positioning booster; no locking clip is
required.
ELR lap-only belts must be replaced with a manual belt;
contact your vehicle dealer. A locking clip will not
correct this problem.
Automatic/Passive vehicle seat belts
Automatic (passive) 2-point belt has no lap belt. You
must install a lap belt to secure a child restraint.
You may also need to install an extra lap belt for an
automatic 3-point belt. Refer to the vehicles owner’s
manual. A locking clip will not correct this problem.
Vehicle belt too short
Contact your vehicle dealer for a seat belt extender.
Belts in center of the door or side panel

Manual Belts
Manual lap belts are
common in the center
rear seat and can allow the
child restraint to loosen
when it is tilted or jarred.
After tightening the lap
belt securely, tilt and push
the child restraint forward
and to both sides. If no
loosening occurs, your
child restraint should be
secure.
If loosening does occur,
try the following: If the
buckle plate slides on the
belt, turn the buckle plate
over. If the buckle slides,
turn the buckle. Refasten
the vehicle lap belt. The
release button should face
out after twisting so that
it is easy to reach in an
emergency.
If the lap belt continues
to loosen, the child
restraint must be moved
to another location in the
vehicle. A locking clip will
not correct this problem;
see your vehicle owner’s
manual.
