How to Lock Your Lap and Shoulder Vehicle Seat Belt

Note: With the vehicle seat belt in this locking mode, all the tension is upwards in the
shoulder belt. This may start to tilt your car seat sideways. If this happens, use a locking
clip instead of this switching the retractor. See Sliding Latch Plate and ELR Retractor.
Sliding Latch Plate and Switchable
Retractor
A latchplate that slides freely on the belt webbing
and cannot, by itself, hold the belt snug around
a car seat.
When installing the car seat, route the vehicle
seat belt through the proper belt path and buckle
it in. Slowly pull the shoulder belt all the way
out to switch it to locking mode. Then, as
you pull the vehicle seat belt tight, feed all the
slack back into the retractor.
Grab the sides of the seat at the belt path and
slide the seat side-to-side and front-to-back. The
seat should not move more than 1" (2.5 cm).
