ok I am gonna try REALLY hard to put into words what I was thinking. I was given a link and have been reading the link now.
in a situation you use lock offs from the carseat but don't realize that your shoulder belt actually does lock. So instead of locking the shoulder belt you use the lock offs. In an accident then does it limit the seat belts job? I am not sure how to get my words out properly. I know you are to use one OR the other.
"Using a locking clip to hold the two parts of the belt together could hold unwanted slack in the lap belt or prevent the lap belt from tightening as it should." http://www.carseat.org/Technical/tech_update.htm#Lock-off
now where it is talking about the locking clip, ignore that and use the words "lock offs" as in the britax lock offs. If you use the lock offs on a locking belt (but the belt isn't locked) does the performance of the seatbelt go down in a crash? Does the seatbelt then not do it's "job" properly. Or is it ok cause you are pinching BOTH sides of the belt. Not just by the end.
man I hope I make SOME sense.
