IMPORTANT:  

Vehicle seats and safety seat belts differ from vehicle to 

vehicle.  Always refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or call the vehicle 
manufacturer for specific information about the use of child restraint 
systems in your vehicle.  Some vehicles may have seating positions or 
seat belts which are not compatible with this Positioning Restraint 
System, or any other restraint system. 
 

VEHICLE SEAT BELTS THAT CAN BE USED:

 

 



Continuous-loop lap-shoulder belts with a sliding latch plate.

 

This type of seat belt consists of continuous webbing that is bolted 
to the vehicle on one end and has a retractor on the other end.  The 
latch plate (the “male” part of the seat belt buckle) slides freely 
along the webbing to form a lap belt and a shoulder belt when 
attached to the buckle. 

 



Combination lap-shoulder belts with a locking latch plate.

  This 

type of seat belt has a latch plate (the “male” part of the seat belt 
buckle) that locks into place for securing the restraint system. 

 



Lap belts with automatic locking retractors. 

These lap belts 

automatically lock to whatever length they have been pulled to, 
after which they can only be reset by retracting the belt completely. 

 



Lap belts with a locking latch plate.

  This type of seat belt stays 

locked after the seat belt is tightened by pulling the free end. 

 

 
VEHICLE SEAT BELTS THAT CANNOT BE USED: 



Seat belts with the top and/or bottom anchor attached to the vehicle 
door.
