Using A Locking Clip - Cosco SCENERA NEXT Manual

Using a Locking Clip

You will rarely need to use a
locking clip except in some older vehicles.
Built-in child restraint locking systems
have been required in vehicles since
1996 and many vehicles had these
features even earlier. Review pages 31-
34 and your vehicle owner's manual to
determine if your vehicle belts require a
locking clip.
If you need a locking clip immediate-
ly, they are likely available at an auto
dealership, an auto store, or where you
purchased this child restraint. You can
also call us at 1-800-544-1108 for one.
A locking clip will not fix all types of seat
belt problems. You MUST have a lap and
shoulder belt to use a locking clip.
