Install the Child Harness to the booster seat and anchorages as detailed previously (page 45- 46). Install 
the booster seat into the vehicle. Ensure the top tether strap is attached to the vehicle upper anchorage 
and adjusted correctly. With the vehicle seatbelt converted (if necessary) ready for use, thread the lap 
seatbelt through the Child Harness strap loops as shown. 

NOTE: Seatbelt extenders should not be used if the 
seatbelt is not long enough to fit around the child. If 
a seatbelt extender is used then the seatbelt buckle 
must not be in contact with the child.
