Installation with Seat Belt
If your vehicle is model year 1996 or newer, it likely
has a vehicle belt system that can be locked when
tightened, and will not require use of a Locking Clip.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual before
installing a Locking Clip.
If your vehicle requires a Locking Clip, please call
ParentLink (see back cover) to obtain a Locking Clip and
instructions on how to install and use it.
• Remove Locking Clip from vehicle seat belt when not
used with a child restraint, or the vehicle seat belt will not
properly restrain an adult or child. Serious injury could
occur.
• DO NOT use a Locking Clip in booster mode.
6. Ensure child
restraint is secure.
Try to move the child
restraint in all directions.
IMPORTANT: To properly
protect the child, the child
restraint MUST NOT move
more than 25 mm (1 inch)
from side-to-side or from
front-to-back at the vehicle
belt path. If you cannot
tightly secure the child
restraint, try again or move
it to another location.
