  "question": "Which infant car seats include a belt tension indicator or a lock-off to help tighten the vehicle seat belt?",
  "answer": "Maxi-Cosi Peri™ 180° Rotating Infant Car Seat - Kindred Collection: The base has a red-to-green tension indicator that shows when the vehicle belt is tight enough. Chicco KeyFit Max ClearTex: The video demonstrates installing the base with either LATCH or the seatbelt but never both, adjusting the recline foot until the bubble is between the lines, connecting the lower anchors and pulling the strap tight, routing the seatbelt and using the lock-off, and clicking the carrier into the base until it clicks; it advises reading the manuals or consulting a certified technician.",
