This combination seat belt does not require a
locking clip (Fig. 18-1).
A lap/shoulder combination belt system
with a latch plate that can slide freely along
the belt is suitable for use with the Safety
Seat if it includes a lockable retractor or if
a locking clip is used to secure the lap belt
into position and prevent loosening. Use the
locking clip provided with the Safety Seat as
instructed on page 41. Please refer to your
vehicle’s owner’s manual for additional
information on locking this style of seat
belt. This style of belt must be locked to
prevent movement of the Safety Seat (Fig.
18-2 & 18-3).
Some on-base locking clip applications
based on the automobile buckle stalk length
may necessitate the locking clip is placed in
the center of the base belt path. (Fig. 18-4)
Seat belt systems that are Adequate for use with the Safety
Seat:
The following seat belt systems can be used with the Safety Seat
provided, that all of the other requirements prescribed in these
instructions, including seat position, and all instructions provided
by your vehicle’s owner’s manual are followed.
A lap belt that is manually adjusted and will
remain tight while the vehicle is in motion is
suitable for use with the Safety Seat. Pulling
the belt through the buckle after the buckle is
fastened tightens this type of seat belt. The
center rear seat belt is most often this type of
seat belt (Fig. 17-1).
A lap belt that cannot be lengthened once
it is fastened is suitable for use with the
Safety Seat. These seat belts often have
an automatic locking retractor that will
allow the belt to be lengthened but once
fastened, must be unbuckled and allowed
to retract fully before allowing the belt to be
lengthened again (Fig. 17-2).
A lap/shoulder combination seat belt with a
latch plate that locks the lap belt into position
is suitable for use with the Safety Seat. Once
this type of seat belt is fastened, the latch
plate prevents the lap belt from loosening.
