Using a Locking Clip
1.
Determine Locking Clip Position
Grasp both vehicle belts together
just behind the latch plate to mark the
position for locking clip.
Unbuckle the belt.
NOTE:
If the latch plate ends up just
at the belt path opening so you cannot grasp the vehicle belt at the
latch plate, grasp the vehicle belts on the opposite side of the
car bed, as close to the latch plate as possible.

You will rarely need to use a locking clip except 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. Review pages 23-26 and your vehicle owner’s
manual to determine if your vehicle belts require a locking clip.
If you need a locking clip immediately, they are likely available at an
auto dealership, an auto store, or where you purchased this child
restraint. You can also call us at 1-800-544-1108 for one.
A locking clip will not fix all types of seat belt problems. You
MUST
have a lap and shoulder belt to use a locking clip.
For Side Facing installation
, follow Pages 31-32 Warnings
and Steps 1-3 before starting locking clip installation.
Remove the locking clip when the seat belt is not being
used with a car bed.
