• Retractable Lap Belts – Lap belt is mounted on a retractor
which automatically pulls the lap belt back in when
released, as shown in Figure 36.
– If this type of lap belt is equipped with an Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) it should NEVER be used with a
car seat.
– If this type of lap belt is equipped with an Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR), or a Switchable Locking
Retractor (SLR), it can be used. See your vehicle owner’s
manual for more information on SLR retractor belts. To
check if your retractable lap belt is equipped with an
ALR retractor:
1. Pull the belt all the way out until it stops.
2. Allow the belt to pull back in about 6 in. (15 cm).
3. Pull out on belt again. If the belt will not pull out
again, it is equipped with an ALR retractor.
• Manually Adjustable Lap Belts, see Figure 37 – Length can
be manually adjusted. Does not retract into the vehicle.
– Most manually adjustable lap belts will allow for secure
installation, but if the locking latch plate slides, not
allowing for a secure installation, it may be necessary
to ip the locking latch plate over to get a secure
installation as shown in Figure 37a.
