A somewhat stupid question about booster installation....

:confused: Broke down and bought the Parkway today for Elliot to use in DH's car and as our "traveling" seat. I don't have Dh's car right now, but he has the seatbelts that have the switches on the latchplate of the seatbelt(I am totally brain dead and can't recall proper terminology today!)--one is for the regular seatbelt, and the other is for installing a car seat. I am assuming that you use the regular setting for a booster? His manual is useless when it comes to seat installation. I have not learned anything about booster seats out if sheer denial--I can't believe that my *baby* is even big enough for one! :(
TIA!

Hi Beth. Yes, use the regular setting for the booter seat. You want the belt to move freely. The only time it's OK to switch the belt locked is when the retractor is switchable and that's when the seat belt pulls all the way out, then you let it retract in and it stays locked.
