Using the Booster Seat

Using the Booster without a Backrest

WARNING!

DO NOT use this booster seat without the backrest unless the booster seat will be properly installed in a vehicle seat with a headrest.

ONLY use this booster seat without the backrest if proper vehicle belt positioning can be achieved. Proper positioning is achieved when the vehicle belt’s shoulder section crosses the chest and center of the child’s collar bone.

ALWAYS use the vehicle’s lap-and-shoulder belt system when using this booster seat without the backrest.

1

Place the booster seat base in a seating

 

position equipped with a vehicle lap-shoulder

 

belt and headrest. Refer to page 7 for Vehicle

 

Seating Positions. (Fig. A)

2

Pull the vehicle belt from the retractor,

 

positioning the lap belt under both armrests

 

and in front of both color-coded belt guides,

 

then latch the vehicle belt buckle. (Fig. B)

 

Ensure the buckle is secure by gently pulling

 

on it.

3

Adjust the vehicle-belt’s shoulder section so

 

that it crosses the chest and center of the

child’s collar bone. (Fig. B)

Straps should be tight and not twisted. All slack should be removed from lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle belt to ensure a snug fit.
