Securing a Child Restraint System with a lap/shoulder belt
When not using the ISOFIX system, all Child Restraint Systems must be secured to a rear seat with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt.
Operation
-
Place the Child Restraint System on a rear seat and route the lap/shoulder belt around or through the Child Restraint System.
-
Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into the buckle.
-
Remove as much slack from the belt as possible by pushing down on the Child Restraint System whilst feeding the shoulder belt back into the retractor.
-
Push and pull on the Child Restraint System to confirm that the seat belt is holding it firmly in place.
-
If your Child Restraint System manufacturer recommends the use of a top tether with the lap/shoulder belt, see Securing a child restraint system seat with the "top tether anchorage" system section in this chapter.
-
To remove the Child Restraint System, press the release button on the buckle, and then pull the lap/shoulder belt out of the Child Restraint System and allow the seat belt to retract fully.
