I fully support the NPRM that will remove the sunset provision of FMVSS 208 regarding the lockability of seat belts for the purpose of securely anchoring child restraints. Vehicle belts remain important for child restraint anchorage in many situations where the LATCH anchors cannot be used. While the original provision was well intended, the continued need for seat belt lockability is evident. Thank you in advance for the removal of this provision.
