Question Dodge Ram 1500 2011 Seatbelt Question

I've got a Clek Foonf that needs to switch from LATCH only to LATCH + seatbelt installation in my husband's Ram. As far as I remember, the L/S seatbelt didn't automatically lock when you pull on it (haven't tried to pull it all the way out, though). Considering the locking clip in the Foonf, is it safe to use the L/S belt, even if it doesn't lock automatically? If I have a switchable locking retractor, is it better to switch it to automatic locking?

Your belts lock for a carseat (assuming it doesn't have lockoffs) by switching to locking mode. You can use the lockoffs instead with your seat. Or lock it.

Did that answer your question?

You have the seat top tethered?

Yup, I'm good. I've got the top tethered, although the whole "go through fabric loop then attach to the next fabric loop" is not fun. I prefer vehicles that have the standard metal attachment for the top tether.
