Be Sure YourVehicle Seat Belt Meets These Requirements
The vehicle seat belt must be designed to hold the
car seat tightly at ALLtimes. 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 NOTsafe 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.
