A camming and retaining knob is turned over the free camming end of the clamping bar to further tension the lap belt webbing and to secure the bar and the webbing offset thereby in position so that the lap belt can be effectively employed to keep the child restraint seat in position under a wide range of seat belt loads as encountered during normal driving conditions.
