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.

Thread both vehicle lap
and shoulder belts through
the slot (as shown) and
out other side. Buckle.
Pull up on shoulder belt
until all slack is out and lap
belt is tight.
Grasp both vehicle belts
together just behind the
buckle plate and unbuckle.
NOTE: If the buckle plate
ends up behind the child
restraint, grasp the belts to
the outside of the child
restraint, as close to the
buckle plate as possible.
Thread both portions of
the vehicle belt onto the
locking clip, as close to the
buckel plate as possible.
NOTE: The locking clip is located on the back of the seat.
You do not need a locking clip when using this seat as a
belt-positioning booster.
Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not being
used with a child restraint. A locking clip will not fix all
types of seat belt problems.
Before you put your child restraint in the vehicle, buckle the
lap/shoulder belt. Pull on the lap belt portion. If it loosens or
slips, you must either use a locking clip to hold the seat belt
tight or move the child restraint to another seating location.
