.Follow all of the booster seat manufac- turers instructions for installation and use. When purchasing a booster seat, be sure to select one which will fit your child and vehicle. It may not be possible to properly install some types of booster seats in your vehicle.

.If the booster seat and seat belt is not used properly, the risk of a child being injured in a collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.

.Adjustable seatbacks should be posi- tioned to fit the booster seat, but as up- right as possible.

.After placing the child in the booster seat and fastening the seat belt, make sure the shoulder portion of the belt is away from the childs face and neck and the lap portion of the belt does not cross the abdomen.

.Do not put the shoulder belt behind the child or under the childs arm. If you

must install a booster seat in the front seat, see BOOSTER SEAT INSTALLA- TIONlater in this section.

.When your booster seat is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown around in case of a sudden stop or accident.

CAUTION

Remember that a booster seat left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in the booster seat.
