5.2Vehicle Seat Belt Requirements

MANY SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE WITH THE CAR SEAT. THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT MUST BE DESIGNED TO HOLD THE CAR SEAT TIGHTLY AT ALL TIMES.

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, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or Graco Children's Products Inc., 1-888-224-6549.
