To see if you have this type of belt, pull on the lap belt, let it return part way, then pull on it again.

Some ELR belts will convert to Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) belts if you pull the belt all the way out. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual.

ELR shoulder belts either require a locking clip or cannot be used with any child restraint. Note: You may use an ELR lap and shoulder belt when using this seat as belt- positioning booster; no locking clip is required.

Check your vehicle owner’s manual to see which seating positions may be equipped with the LATCH system.
