5.4 BACKLESS BOOSTER CAR SEAT USE
(
WITHOUT
Built-in Harness System)
Child MUST meet all of the following requirements
to use the Backless Booster Car Seat mode:
• Child’s weight is between 40
and 100 lbs. (18 and 45 kg)
and
• Child’s height is between 42 and
57 in. (107 and 145 cm) and
• Top of child’s ears must be
below top of vehicle seat back
or vehicle headrest and
• Child must be at least 4 years
of age.
Baby Trend and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend
using a Backless Booster Car Seat until the child reaches a standing
height of 57 in. (145 cm) before changing to secure the child with a
vehicle seat belt, without a booster car seat.
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can occur:
• TO AVOID INJURIES FROM WHIPLASH, TOP OF
CHILD’S EARS MUST BE BELOW TOP EDGE OF
VEHICLE SEAT BACK OR VEHICLE HEADREST.
• There are many different types of vehicles, vehicle seat belt
systems, or other occupant restraint systems in use today.
Accordingly, this manual can only give guidelines for proper
installation in your vehicle. In addition to this manual, you
must also read and understand the vehicle owner’s manual,
which should address use of child restraints. If your vehicle
owner’s manual does not address the installation of child
restraints, please contact your local vehicle dealer, or the
vehicle’s manufacturer to obtain this information before using
this Car Seat.
Not every seating location within a vehicle may be safe for the
installation of this Car Seat. In fact, some vehicles have no
seating location that is safe for the installation of a Car Seat.
Improper placement of this Car Seat within a vehicle will increase
the risk of death or serious injury in a sudden stop or crash.
See “Vehicle Seat Belts” section for more information on vehicle
seat belts.
Please follow the instructions in this manual and in your vehicle
owner’s manual carefully to ensure proper location and installation
of this Car Seat. If you are uncertain about the proper location of
the Car Seat within the vehicle, contact your vehicle manufacturer
directly or through their dealer before using this seat. You are also
