will not be able to pull any more of the webbing out of
the retractor. In this mode, you will only be able to retract
excess webbing into the retractor to secure the child

strained pet will be thrown about and possibly injured, or
injure a passenger during panic braking or in an collision.
Pets should be restrained in pet harnesses or pet carriers
that are secured by seat belts.
