6-A Additional LATCH Information
This car seat can be installed in your vehicle using either the
vehicle seat belt OR the LATCH system. Both systems are
equally safe to use. DO NOT USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.
The LATCH system allows you to securely attach your car seat
in your car without using the vehicle seat belt and possibly to get
a better fit. All 2003 and newer model year vehicles are required
to have a LATCH system, although some manufacturers began
including LATCH earlier. Some vehicle owner manuals use the
term ISOFIX to identify the LATCH system.
Only use LATCH in seating positions recommended by
your vehicle manufacturer. Review your vehicle owner’s
manual for more information.

6 Vehicle
Information
66
Always review your vehicle owner’s manual for specific
information about your vehicle seat belts.
There are three types of retractors: ELR (Emergency Locking
Retractor), ALR (Automatic Locking Retractor), and
Switchable (ELR switch to ALR). To determine your type of
retractor, follow these steps:
1. Slowly pull the belt out about halfway and
stop.
2. Let the belt retract back several inches.
3. Try to slowly pull the belt out more.
If the belt cannot be pulled any further,
it is ALR, ready to install your car seat. If it
can be pulled further, go to the next step.
4. Slowly pull the belt all the way out, and
then allow it to retract several inches. You may hear some
clicking sounds.
5. Try to pull the belt all the way out again. If it cannot be
pulled out, it is Switchable, ready to install your car seat. If
it can still be pulled out freely, it is ELR. Review the following
pages to properly install your infant car seat.
Note: Most vehicles manufactured after 1996 will have
Switchable retractors in the back seat. If you have any questions
about your retractor type, consult your vehicle owner’s manual
or call Graco for assistance.

How to Lock Your Lap/Shoulder Vehicle Seat Belt
Sliding Latch Plate
and Switchable
Retractor
A latch plate that slides
freely on the belt webbing
and cannot, by itself, hold
the belt snug around a car
seat.
When installing the car seat,
route the vehicle seat belt
through the proper belt path
and buckle it in. Slowly pull
the shoulder belt all the
way out to switch it to
locking mode. Then, as
you pull the vehicle seat belt
tight, feed all the slack back
into the retractor.
Grab the sides of the base
or seat at the belt path and
slide side to side and front
to back. The base or seat
should not move more than
1” (2.5 cm).
Note: With the vehicle seat belt in
this locking mode, all the tension
is upwards in the shoulder belt.
This may start to tilt your car seat
sideways when rear-facing. If this
happens, use a locking clip instead of
switching the retractor. See Sliding
Latch Plate and ELR Retractor.
Note: When using the base, you do
not need to switch the retractor. The
lock-off locks the seat belt.
