A child seat (20) and a method for monitoring installation of the child seat (20) are provided. The child seat (20) includes a child seat frame (40) configured to receive a child occupant. The child seat frame (40) is configured to receive a seat belt webbing (24) for securing the child seat frame (40) to a vehicle seat (22). The child seat (20) further includes a first bladder (44) configured to contact the seat belt webbing (24). The first bladder (44) has a fluid therein. The child seat (20) further includes a first pressure sensor (52) fluidly communicating with the fluid in the first bladder (44). The first pressure sensor (52) is configured to output a first signal indicative of an amount of pressure in the first bladder (44). The child seat (20) further includes a controller (56) coupled to the child seat frame (40) configured to receive the first signal and to compute a first tension value based on the first signal. The controller (56) is further configured to generate a second signal to induce a first device disposed on the child seat frame (40) to indicate when the first tension value is less than a first predetermined tension value.
