Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
n
A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat, or if
absolutely necessary, the front passenger seat.
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle
seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the
child seat according to the seat
manufacturer's instructions and
insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Insert the latch plate fully
until it clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops. This
activates the lockable retractor.
4. Let the seat belt retract a few inches and check that the retractor has
switched modes by pulling on the webbing. It should not pull out again
until it is reset by removing the latch plate from the buckle. If you are
able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not activated.
Pull the seat belt all the way out and repeat steps 3 – 4.
5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat
belt near the buckle and pull up to
remove any slack from the lap part
of the belt. When doing this, place
your weight on the child seat and
push it into the vehicle seat.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly
secured by rocking it forward and
back and side to side; less than
one inch of movement should
occur near the seat belt.
