What is the maximum movement allowed for a properly installed car seat?

A properly installed car seat should not move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the belt path from side to side or front to back when you grab the sides of the seat and slide it. This applies to both LATCH and vehicle seat belt installations.
