Me, looking for a short and simple video showing how to lock a seatbelt for a infant car seat : "am I really going to watch a 17 minutes video on seat belts?" Me, 17 minutes later : "Dayum, that was a very good and educational video, tell me more"!
That's just about the best comment you could leave-thank you! I really love teaching seat belts to new techs in class and to parents at events. It's really the foundation to child and adult safety in the car.
I’m so glad it helped! I know parents and caregivers struggle with these things, which is why o created this video. (Plus, I think it’s really interesting-geek here 😆)
You helped me secure my kid’s front facing carseat. I was nervous about the wobbly car seat and thought I must be doing something wrong. Google brought me here and I learned lot of stuff. Thanks again.
@@CarSeatSiteGood day i just purchased a 2024 Audi Q3 from a dealer in my country can you say if there is a locking feature with my seat belts? because I have been trying to install a car seat and the seat belt is not locking. I live in Jamaica I have asked the representative and yet to get a response.
@@trilliandouglas6986 Hi. It's likely that the retractor doesn't lock. You'll either need to use a locking clip or buy a carseat that has a true lockoff that locks the seat belt. I suggest reading the owner's manual online before buying a carseat (if you're in the market); in the seat belt installation section after it tells you to close the lockoff, if it tells you to lock the seat belt, it's not a true lockoff. I have a video on lockoffs here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ASKRvkTsS5Q.html
Hi, I'm wondering if I would need a locking clip for my car seat since my car doesn't have the ALR function. I know all U.S vehicles seems to have ALR but not other countries.
Hello! You're correct that vehicles outside the U.S. don't have locking retractors. I don't know why that is. If you've confirmed that your seat belt doesn't lock in any manner, either at the retractor or at the latchplate, then yes, you'll need either a locking clip or a carseat that has a true lockoff. If you're in a country where you can purchase a U.S. seat, this list may help you: carseatsite.com/lockoffsbelttensioners/. Otherwise, look to see if any carseats available have lockoffs.
Hi! I have a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado - no matter what I do, I cannot get the seat belt to lock for car seat installation. Not sure what to do! The manual doesn’t have those details - or at least I can’t find it.
Do you mean the folded over piece of webbing that keeps the latchplate from sliding down to the floor? If it's in the way of a lockoff, you may need to slide the carseat to one side a bit in order for the lockoff to close.
@@heatherw.689 yes thank you!! I have an evenflo revolve…. I can lock it but it’s outside the lock off and still in the belt path. Hoping that’s alright!
