Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Free Sliding Latch Plate

Pull out on latch plate. If belt slides freely through latch plate (fig. g), the locking clip MUST be used (see “Locking Clip” section).

- For rear-facing, use the locking clip to secure the lap belt (see “Locking Clip” section).

- For forward-facing, use the locking clip to secure the lap/shoulder belt.

Some combination lap/shoulder belts with free sliding latch plates may be

 

converted into an “automatic locking mode”. Always use the belt lock-off with

 

these belt systems.

Combination Lap/Shoulder Belt with Locking Latch Plate

 

Vehicle seat belts with locking latch plates (fig. h) normally hold a car seat

 

tightly. However in some cases, the locking latch plate on some seat belts

 

may slip and loosen after being buckled on car seat if positioned at a certain

Flip

angle. If this happens, flip the latch plate over and re-buckle. Test installation

again to see if this works. If not, move car seat to another seating location.
