Securing Your Child

Booster Mode

WARNING!

Only use a lap-shoulder belt to secure the child in booster mode.

Use the shoulder belt guides on the child seat to ensure proper fit.

Ensure the lap part of the belt sits low across the child’s hips and that the shoulder part does not contact the child’s neck.

Before you begin:

Ensure that the positioning block is in booster position.

If your vehicle seat back is adjustable, ensure it is in the upright position before placing the child seat on the vehicle seat.

1Place the child seat on the vehicle seat and have the child sit in the child seat.

2Adjust the head restraint so the shoulder belt guides position the vehicle belt at or just above the child’s

shoulders. The child’s ears should be below the top of the head restraint.

3Pull the vehicle belt out and route the shoulder part of the

vehicle belt through the upper belt guide.

4Fasten the vehicle belt across the child.

* Lap part of the vehicle belt must be routed low across the child’s upper thighs.

5 Remove slack from the vehicle belt.
