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.
To install a Child Restraint System on the
rear seats, do the following:
1. Place the Child Restraint System on a
rear seat and route the lap/ shoulder
belt around or through the Child
Restraint System, following the Child
Restraint System manufacturer's
instructions.
Make sure the seat belt webbing is
not twisted.
2. Fasten the lap/shoulder belt latch into
the buckle. Listen for the distinct
"click" sound. Position the release but
-
ton so that it is easy to access in case
of an emergency.
3. 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 retrac
-
tor.
4. 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 manufac
-
turer recommends the use of a top-
tether with the lap/shoulder belt, see
Securing a Child Restraint System seat
with “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.
