Be Sure Your Vehicle Seat Belt Meets These Requirements

The vehicle seat belt must be designed to hold the car seat tightly at ALL times. There are a variety of seat belt systems that are NOT safe for use with the car seat because they will not hold the car seat tightly at all times. We will first describe the seat belts that are NOT safe for use and then we will describe those that ARE safe for use. Pay careful attention to these systems; some of the seat belts that are not safe to use look very much like seat belts that are safe to use. If you are unsure, contact the vehicle manufacturer or call Graco at 1-888-224-6549.

Many seat belt systems are NOT safe to use with the car seat, even though they can easily be threaded through the car seat. Carefully read this section for information on seat belt systems and refer to your vehicle owner’s manual and any labels on your vehicle’s seat belt. You may need to have a special seat belt installed by your vehicle dealer before using the car seat.
