4. Install locking clip,
if necessary.
You
MUST
use a locking
clip if your vehicle has:
A lap/shoulder seat belt
combination that has a
buckle tongue that slides
freely
along the belt
without
locking
into
place;
OR
Seat belts equipped with
an emergency locking
retractor (ELR).
Locking Clip
installed properly
Some ELR vehicle belts can be switched so that they lock
when tightened.
It may not be necessary to use a locking
clip in these situations.
Consult your vehicle owner’s manual before in-
stalling the locking clip.
To see an example of seat belt types and to properly
install a locking clip, go to p. 55.

in a sitting position. Make sure they recline enough for their
head to lie back comfortably and safely. Failure to properly

6. Ensure child restraint is secure.
Reconnect the seat pad to the front of the restraint.
With your hand holding the seat shell at the rear-
facing belt path, as shown, try to move the child re-
straint from side to side. Then, holding the seat shell
at each rear-facing belt path, try to move the restraint
from front to back.
For the child restraint to be properly secured, it
MUST NOT
move more than 25 mm (1 inch) from
side to side or front to back
at the belt path
.
If
you cannot tightly secure the child restraint, try
again or move it to another location.
