15.0 Securing Child & Booster Seat in Vehicle

1.Place booster seat firmly against the back of a forward-facing vehicle seat. The vehicle seat must be equipped with a lap/shoulder belt.

2.Place child in car seat with child’s back flat against back of

car seat.

3.Position lap/shoulder belt through shoulder belt guide not underneath shoulder belt guide . Belt should pass over vehicle belt guide . Fasten buckle and pull up on the shoulder belt to tighten.

4.If belt lies across child’s neck head or face

redirect belt over shoulder by adjusting the head
support setting See page 48, Adjusting
Head Support.

5. Check that shoulder belt is properly positioned over shoulder and snug against child. A snug strap should not allow any slack. It lies in a relatively straight line without sagging. It does not press on the child’s flesh or push the child’s body into an unnatural position.
