Lap-Shoulder Belt – Selecting a Belt Path
Due to the variability in vehicle seat designs and belt systems, the
Frontier child seat can be secured to the vehicle seat by a lap-
shoulder belt with either a short belt path or a long belt path
installation method.
If the buckle stalk is to the C
side of the child seat (i.e.
the child seat is narrower
than the insertion points
of the vehicle belt system),
then the long belt path
may be the best option to
try first.

The following may help with selecting which belt path to try first:
Place the child seat on the A
vehicle seat in the chosen
seating position. Note the
position of the vehicle belt
buckle stalk relative to the
child seat.
If the buckle stalk is behind
B
the child seat (i.e. the
child seat is wider than
the insertion points of the
vehicle belt system), then
the short belt path may be
the best option to try first.
If one installation method results in more than 1” (2.5 cm) of front-
to-back or side-to-side movement at the belt path, then try the other
method.
Both the short and long lap-shoulder belt path installation methods
meet or exceed all compliance standards required by the federal
government. Either of these options can be used based upon vehicle
compatibility for children at least 2 years old and 25 lbs (11.3 kg) up
to 80 lbs (36.3 kg) in the harness mode.
