Booster

A good girlfriend of mine has two boosters in her car.

The manuals for the boosters say that no locking clips are necessary. However, she has a 95 Ford Explorer, and the seatbelts don't auto-retract, so she uses a locking clip with thge belt positioning boosters.

I've talked her into calling the manufacturer of her booster seats, but in general, is this okay to do? To use a locking clip with the booster seat? She does it because her daughter won't sit still in her car seat, and becomes all wiggly, and the locking clip keep sher in position.

Any ideas? Guidelines? The boosters are Jupiter boosters- A Komfort Kruiser, and Komfort Rider.

Thanks!
Jessica

Re: Booster

In general, locking clips are not needed with lap and shoulder belts. In a crash, the shoulder belt will lock as that is how the mechanism is designed to protect adults as well as kids in boosters.

Locking clips are allowed with some boosters, but are specifically prohibited on others. The only way to be sure if one can be used with a particular model is to check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer.
