Protecting Children Installing a Rear-Facing Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Belt The lap/shoulder belts in the outer back seats have a locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat. The following pages provide instructions on how to secure a rearfacing child seat with this type of seat belt. See page 33 for how to secure a rearfacing child seat in the center position on the third seat with the lap part of the lap/shoulder belt. For tips on installing a rear-facing child seat with either type of seat belt, see page 34 . 1. With the child seat in the desired back seating position, route the belt through the child seat according to the seat maker's instructions, then insert the latch plate into the buckle. 2. To activate the lockable retractor, slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops, then let the belt feed back into the retractor (you might hear a clicking noise as the belt retracts).
