Vehicle Safety Belts

NOTE: The information in this section only applies to installation with vehicle safety belts.

IMPORTANT: Vehicle seats and safety belts differ from vehicle to vehicle. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for specific information about vehicle safety belts and their use with child restraints. Some vehicles have no seating positions which are compatible with this child restraint or any other child restraint. If in doubt, contact the vehicle manufacturer for assistance.

This child restraint can fit securely in most vehicles using existing vehicle belts. However, some vehicle designs prevent a secure fit of the child restraint due to position of the vehicle belt lower anchorage points.

The owner’s manual for your vehicle will have information on the types of vehicle belts in your vehicle. If your belt type is listed below, select another seating position or use Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) connectors.
