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.
Lay the shoulder belt inside the opened lock-off.
Then, as you pull the vehicle seat belt tight,
feed all the slack back into the retractor. When
the belt is tight, close the lock-off.
Note: When using the lock-off you do not need
to switch the retractor to locking mode. The
lock-off locks the belt.
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" (2.5 cm).
