Using The Locking Clip - DJG Alpha Omega 65 Manual

I. Using the Locking Clip
A locking clip is used to prevent the vehicle belt from
loosening before a sudden stop or crash. The locking clip
can only be used on a lap and shoulder belt combination.
The locking clip is located on the back of the child restraint.
A locking clip will not fix all types of vehicle seat belt
problems. Do not use the locking clip when using this
seat as a booster seat.
Review section D-4 and your vehicle's owner manual
for vehicle seat belt use with child restraints to see if a
locking clip is needed.
Do not use both the UAS belt
and vehicle belt at the same
time.
Secure UAS belts when using the
vehicle belts.
Secure the tether hook when
used rear-facing.
When used in the rear-facing position, recline the
child restraint and rotate the child restraint to the
correct recline angle that matches the weight of
your child. Do not use any other recline positions
rear facing. Do not rotate the child restraint
beyond the bottom or top level to ground lines.
When used in the forward-facing position, do
not use any recline position except to install the
child restraint flush against the vehicle seat back.
Vehicle seat back must be upright.
For Rear-Facing installation, follow Section F-4 Steps 1-5
before starting locking clip installation.
For Forward-Facing installation, follow Section G-5 Steps
1-3 before starting locking clip installation.

1. Locate Locking Clip
Location
Grasp the vehicle lap/
shoulder belts together
tightly as close to the vehicle
latch plate as possible. While
holding the belts tightly,
unbuckle.
NOTE: If the latch plate ends up just at the belt path
opening so you cannot grasp the vehicle belt at the latch
plate, grasp the vehicle belts on the opposite side of the
child restraint, as close to the latch plate as possible. Install
the locking clip on the latch plate end, as close as possible.
2.
Attach Locking Clip
Thread both portions of the
vehicle belt onto the locking
clip, as close to the latch plate
as possible.

2.5 cm (1 in.) from vehicle
