VEHICLE SEAT BELTS (continued)

LapBelts-WithRetractor

With Harness System:

 

Lap belts with retractors may or may not hold

 

a car seat securely.

 

Follow these steps to determine if you have a

 

retractor system that will hold car seat securely:

 

a. Pull belt all the way out.

 

b. Allow belt to retract about 6 inches (15 cm).

 

c. Pull out on belt again.

 

If belt is locked and you cannot pull the belt out

 

any further, you have an Automatic Locking

 

Retractor which may be used with a car seat.

Retractor

all the way out, buckle belt, and then tighten.

If you can pull the belt out again (step c), you

 

have an Emergency Locking Retractor which

 

must not be used with a car seat.

DO NOT use this type of vehicle seat belt to

 

secure child and booster car seat.
