System Do You Have?

WARNING

Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt system when restraining the child in this booster car seat. Using a lap belt only will still allow your child’s head to move forward in a sudden stop or crash, possi- bly causing your child’s head to strike the vehicle’s interior or your child’s knees hard enough to cause injury or death.

There are many different types of vehicle belt systems. Some vehicle belt systems can NEVER be used with the booster car seat. For example, a lap only vehicle belt will not restrain your child properly in the booster car seat. The booster car seat requires the use of a vehicle lap and shoulder belt.

Check your vehicle to determine which type of vehicle belt system(s) you have. Your vehicle may have more than one type of belt system. For example, you may find lap-only belts in the center seating locations and lap and shoulder belts in the side seating locations. If you are not sure which type of vehicle belt system you have, contact your vehicle dealer or manufacturer.

If you do not have a seating location with a usable vehicle belt system, DO NOT use the booster car seat. Contact your vehi- cle manufacturer. The vehicle manufacturer may be able to install a vehicle belt system that will be able to restrain your child properly in the booster car seat. NEVER alter your vehicle belt system yourself.
