Vehicle seat belt overview
VEHICLE SEATBELTS: this car child seat is designed to be installed with vehicle belts.
There are many dierent vehicle belt designs. Unfortunately, some may be unsuitable
for a safe installation of this car seat. Please read carefully the pages below.
Check your Vehicle Owner’s Manual or call Peg-Perego Customer Service @ 1-800-671-
1701 for additional help.
The most common vehicle belt is
composed of a web strap (a), a latch
plate (b), a buckle (c) and a retractor (d).
A retractor is a spring loaded device that
rolls the seatbelt automatically when not
in use. Common retractors are:
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
allows the occupant to have free
movement while buckled up, but in an
emergency situation or crash the retractor
instantly locks securing the occupant.
Switchable Locking Retractor (ELR —>
ALR) Switches from Emergency Locking
Retractor (ELR) to an Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR). This allows the user to
lock the retractor at a set position (also
called child restraint mode) used for
securing child seats.

- 17 -
Vehicle seat belt overview
ALR mode is activated by extending the
retractor all the way out until a "click" is
heard, next let the seat belt (webbing)
retract into the retractor to the desired
length and stop the belt at that point.
The retractor locks and will not let the belt
lengthen at that point (only retract).
To cancel ALR mode and return the
retractor to the ELR mode, just let the
retractor retract the webbing all the way
back into the retractor.
A latch plate can be a sliding latch plate (a)
or a locking latch plate (b). A sliding latch
plate is available on lap/shoulder belt
only and moves freely along the strap. A
Locking latch plate has a mechanism to
lock the movement of the plate on the
strap.

Lap/shoulder belt (3-point) with
Switchable Locking Retractor (ELR —>
ALR) and free sliding latch plate. This

moves freely along the belt. To activate
ALR for child restraint installation, some
vehicle models may require to pull the
belt all the way out; some other vehicle
models may require to pull the belt for
a certain length (check Vehicle Owner’s
Manual for details).
For installation of this car seat, leave the
seatbelt in ELR mode and use the locko
clip integrated in the child seat base.
A locking clip may be required when the

page 42).
