Lap Belts - With Retractor
Lap belts with retractors (fig. d) 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 | (fig. d) |
Locking Retractor which may be used with a car seat. Remember, when installing a |
|
car seat, pull belt all the way out, buckle belt, and then tighten. |
|
If the belt pulls out (step c), the retractor is an Emergency Locking Retractor which must |
|
not be used with a car seat. |
