9.3 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, the Locking Clip provided with this product 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 31-1)
Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt
with Retractor
DO NOT use a lap/shoulder belt system if the
lap belt and shoulder belt each have retractors
