Belt Tightness
Grasp the child
restraint at the
belt path
with
one hand. Push
and pull the child restraint from side
to side, forward and back. The child
restraint should not move more than 1
inch.
NOTE:
If child restraint moves more than
1 inch, try reinstalling the child restraint
or try another seating location.
You will rarely need to use a locking
clip except for in some older vehicles.
Built in child restraint locking systems
have been required in vehicles since
1996, and many vehicles had these
features even earlier.
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to
learn how to use the systems in your
vehicle. If you need a locking clip, please
go back to the store where you purchased
this child restraint and purchase one or
call us at 1-800-544-1108 to order one.
Locking clips from any child restraint
manufacturer are okay to use.
