Seat BeltsSeat belt locking mechanismAll passenger seat belts have a special locking mechanismwhich aids the retention of child seats. The procedure toinstall a child seat is as follows:1. Install the child seat in the car, attach the seat belt andsecure the buckle in accordance with the manufacturer’sfitting instructions.2. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt to unreel all of theremaining webbing to the limit of its travel. This willengage the automatic locking feature, which then acts asa ratchet, only allowing the webbing to retract.3. Allow the seat belt to retract onto the child seat (a‘clicking’ sound will confirm that the ratchet hasengaged), firmly pushing the child seat into the seat.4. Ensure that there is no slack in the seat belt by pullingupwards on the shoulder belt, immediately above thechild restraint. The seat belt should now be locked andthe child seat held firmly in position.Once the child seat is removed and all the seat belt webbingis allowed to retract, the seat belt locking mechanism revertsto normal operation.1NOTE: The automatic lockingmechanism should also be usedwhen securing large items ofluggage to a seat.27
