Installing with Vehicle Seat Belt
⚠WARNING⚠
Death or Serious Injury Can Occur
Some vehicle seat belts are not safe to use with the car seat.
The vehicle seat belt must hold the car seat tightly at all times.
If the vehicle seat belt does not remain tight or the car seat
can move more than 2.5 cm (1 in) in any direction, do not use
this seating location. Your child could be seriously injured in a
sharp turn, sudden stop, or crash. If the car seat is loose, move
to another seating location and re-install.
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for specific instructions on which
seat belts in your vehicle can be safely used with your car seat, or contact
the vehicle manufacturer for guidance.
There are many types of vehicle seat belts. You must determine if your vehicle
seat belts are compatible with the car seat.
