The adjuster is an assembly of three components; a shoulder belt clip, lap belt locking buckle, and a tether. The shoulder belt clip is tethered to the lap belt locking buckle pulling the shoulder belt closer to the lap. The lap belt locking buckle can slide along the lap belt for adjustment and then be locked into position by closing the locking arm of the buckle.
