A. Seat Belt Systems that are NOT Safe for Use with the Safety Seat

DO NOT use the following types of vehicle belt systems with your safety seat. They will not hold the safety seat securely in place. The metal locking clip provided with this product will NOT make any of these seat belts safe.

!DO NOT use a lap belt that stays loose and can move until it locks in a crash or sudden stop Ê. This belt has an Emergency Locking Retractor, E.L.R. It is often seen in combination with a motorized shoulder belt. Since these lap belts will loosen if pulled on slowly, the safety seat may shift to an unsafe position. This seat belt will NOT safely restrain the safety seat. However, you may be able to convert your E.L.R. belt to one that is safe to use. See your vehicle owner’s manual for more information or contact your vehicle manufacturer.

!DO NOT use a lap/shoulder combination belt where each strap has a retractor at one end and is attached to the latchplate at the other end of the belt Ë. This seat belt will NOT safely restrain the safety seat.
