*The locking clip is stored on the back of the car seat. You will need to use it with certain types of vehicle seat belts.
**Vehicles are now (or can be) equipped with tether anchor points behind some seats. A tether anchors the top of the car seat to the body of the vehicle.
When used properly with the vehicle seat belt, a tether helps reduce injury in a sudden stop or crash.
***United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards have defined a new system for installing car seats in vehicles. The system is called LATCH.
LATCH may ONLY be used IN PLACE of vehicle belt if vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchor points. Please refer to vehicle owners manual for LATCH locations in vehicles.
