How to Lock Your Lap and Shoulder Vehicle Seat Belt

Sliding Latch Plate and
Switchable Retractor
A latchplate that slides freely on the
belt webbing and cannot, by itself,
hold the belt snug around a car seat.
When installing the car seat, route the
vehicle seat belt through the proper
belt path and buckle it in. Slowly pull
the shoulder belt all the way out to
switch it to locking mode. Then, as
you pull the vehicle seat belt tight, feed
all the slack back into the retractor.
Grab the sides of the seat at the belt
path and slide the seat side-to-side
and front-to-back. The seat should not
move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Note: With the vehicle seat belt in this locking mode, all the tension is upwards in the
shoulder belt. This may start to tilt your car seat sideways. If this happens, use a locking
clip instead of this switching the retractor. See Sliding Latch Plate and ELR Retractor.
