Storage for the Locking Clip is provided on the
backside of the car seat base (Fig. 15a). Contact
Baby Trend ® 1-800-328-7263 to acquire an
approved Locking Clip.
1. Route the combination lap shoulder belt
through vehicle belt path on car seat and
buckle vehicle seat belt.
2. Tighten the buckled seat belt by pulling
upward on the shoulder belt while pushing
down on the car seat.
3. While maintaining downward pressure on
the car seat, squeeze the vehicle shoulder
belt and lap belt together just above the
buckle to prevent it from moving. Unbuckle
the vehicle seat belt, being careful to
prevent movement of the buckle.
4. Secure the vehicle shoulder belt to the lap
belt by using the Locking Clip 1.25 cm (1/2")
from the buckle (Fig. 15b).
5. Re-buckle the seat belt and check that the
seat belt is tightly adjusted and stays tight.
Ensure that locking clip is secure on both
belts.
Test installation to make sure car seat is secure. If NOT

4.5 UNSAFE Vehicle Seat Belt Systems

DO NOT use the following types of seat belt systems with the car seat.
These belt systems will not hold the car seat securely in place at all
times. In addition, a Locking Clip used with this car seat will NOT make
these belt systems safe to use. NEVER USE unsafe vehicle belts
systems!
NOTE: LATCH can be used IN PLACE OF the
following unsafe vehicle seat belts systems if
your vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchorage
system.
Lap Belts with Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) DO NOT use a lap belt that stays
loose after installed and locks only in a crash
or sudden stop. These lap belts utilize an
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) and are
often found in combination with motorized
shoulder belts. Because these belts will allow
the car seat to move about on the vehicle
seat, the chance of the car seat being out of
the proper position in a crash is very high.
Accordingly, DO NOT use the car seat with
this type of seat belt system. Please see
your vehicle's dealer or owner's manual for
information on converting this seat belt system
to one that is acceptable for use with a car
seat (Fig. 16a).
Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Retractor
DO NOT use a lap/shoulder belt system if the lap belt and shoulder belt
each have retractors at one end. This type of seat belt system will not
adequately restrain the car seat (Fig. 16b).
