4.2.2SAFE Vehicle Belt Systems

THE FOLLOWING BELT SYSTEMS CAN BE USED WITH YOUR CHILD RESTRAINT, IF the seat location meets all other requirements of these instructions and those in your vehicle owner’s manual. LATCH can be used in place of the vehicle belt system in designated locations. Please refer to vehicle owner’s manual for LATCH locations.

When using child restraint without the base, adjust the belt as described in this section for these types of vehicle seat belts.

When using the base to install the child restraint, you must ALWAYS use the lock-off to secure the lap belt or lap/shoulder belt. See “6.2 Installing the Child Restraint and Base Using Vehicle Belt”, page 28

for installation instructions when using the base.

Some vehicle lap/shoulder seat belts have a plastic button on the belt. Do not allow the button to interfere with the belt routing through the vehicle belt path when installing the seat alone, or with the lock-off when installing the seat and the base.
