Not all vehicle seat belts can be used with car seat. Read “Vehicle Seat Belts” section:

Never use a vehicle “lap-only” belt across front of child.

Never put a car seat in a front vehicle seat unless recommended by vehicle owner’s manual. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) alerts vehicle owners that according to accident statistics, children up to age 12 are safer in the back seat.
