Using a Seat Belt Locking Clip
Always use a seat belt locking clip when you secure a child seat to
your car with a lap/shoulder seat belt. This helps prevent a child
seat from shifting position or overturning.
A locking clip is usually included with the child seat. If you need a
clip, contact the seat's manufacturer or a store that sells child
restraints.
To install a locking clip, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint in the desired position. Route the lap/
shoulder belt through the restraint according to the seat
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle. Pull on the shoulder part of
the belt to make sure there is no slack in the lap portion.
3. Tightly grasp the belt near the latch plate. Pinch both parts of the
belt together so they won't slip through the latch plate. Unbuckle
the seat belt.
4. Install the locking clip as shown. Position the clip as close as
possible to the latch plate.
5. Insert the latch plate into the buckle. Push and pull on the child
seat to verify that it is held firmly in place. If it is not, repeat these
steps until the restraint is secure.
