Installation with Lap/Shoulder Belts:

If shoulder belt is too short to go around back of Tyro™, position shoulder belt through the lap belt guide above the vehicle buckle and against vehicle seat back (fig. f). Do not route shoulder belt through lap belt guides on

both sides of car seat.

-Pull out on latch plate (fig. g). If belt slides freely through latch plate, a belt lock-off must be used as described in “Belt Lock-off” section.

-Some combination lap/shoulder belts with free sliding latch plates

may be converted into an “automatic locking mode” that will allow use without a belt lock-off. See vehicle owner’s manual and label on vehicle belts for instructions.
