Vehicle lap and shoulder belts with a free sliding latch plate may be used in
with both the Toddler Car Seat and Booster Car Seat.
For use with Toddler Car Seat
This type of lap and shoulder belt may be used to secure the Toddler Car
Seat if the lap portion of the vehicle seat belt can be tightened to be snugly
adjusted around the protection shield and will stay snugly adjusted while

A shoulder belt with ELR requires installation of a locking clip to lock the belt
so that is stays snugly adjsusted around the Toddler Car Seat. See the

and tighten the locking clip.
