Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
1.
Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2.
route the seat belt through the child seat
according to the seat manufacturer’

s
instructions, and insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.
3.
Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor.
4.
Let the seat belt retract a few inches, then try to
pull it out to make sure the retractor is locked.
If you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the
lockable retractor is not activated. Pull the seat
belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 4.
5.
Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the
buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from
the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place
your weight on the child seat and push it into the
vehicle seat.
6.
Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
7.
Make sure any unused seat belt that a child
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.
To deactivate a lockable retractor

, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to
wind up all the way.

Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear sea\
t using the
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the followi\
ng:
•
The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge
of the seat.
•
The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s
neck and arm.
•
The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs.
•
The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat
in a rear seating position. For the child’

s safety, check that the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to \
use a
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 6\
0 lbs). Be sure
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you inten\
d to drive.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injur\
y or death
if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to th\
e rear as
possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt pro\
perly,
using a booster seat if needed.
