8.2 Vehicle Seat Belt Requirements

MANY SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE

WITH THE CHILD RESTRAINT. THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT

MUST BE DESIGNED TO HOLD THE CHILD RESTRAINT

TIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES. Pay careful attention to these systems; some of the seat belts that are not safe to use look very much like seat belts that are safe to use. If you are unsure,

consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call Graco Children’s Products Inc., 1-800-345-4109.

8.4For Built-in Harness Only

‡Lap Belts - Manually AdMusted When buckled, the belt is tightened

manually by pulling on the excess belt.

8.3 SAFE Vehicle Seat Belt Systems

THE FOLLOWING BELT SYSTEMS CAN BE USED WITH YOUR CHILD RESTRAINT, IF the seat location meets all other requirements of these instructions and those in your vehicle owner's manual. LATCH can be used in place of the following vehicle belt systems if your vehicle is equipped with LATCH anchor points. Please refer to vehicle owners manual for LATCH locations.

‡Lap Belts with Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)

The automatic locking retractor will not permit the lap belt to lengthen once it is buckled. Tighten the belt by feeding the belt back into the retractor while pushing down hard on the child restraint.
