Remove harness system (see “Harness System -
removal and re-assembly” section).

Place child in car seat with child’s back flat 

against back of car seat.

Place shoulder belt across child’s chest.

Buckle belt and pull shoulder belt to adjust lap
belt snugly.

Shoulder belt 

MUST

lay across child’s shoulder 

in red zone as shown 

(fig. b)

.  If outside of

red zone, see next steps for Comfort Clip use.

CAUTION:

Some shoulder belts with (emergency 
locking) retractors allow a child to pull belt 
out and change position of belt.  Use of 
Comfort Clip helps prevent child from pulling 
belt out.

Thread shoulder belt through Comfort Clip

exactly

as shown and hook end of Comfort Clip 

through proper loop of webbing 

(fig. c)

.

Check to be sure shoulder belt is properly
positioned over shoulder in red zone and snug 
against child.

Position Head Support in center of car seat 

with ends pointing down and snap into belt 
slots 

(fig. d)

.

To prevent serious injury or death:

• Shoulder belt MUST be properly 

positioned over shoulder (NOT 
touching child’s neck and NOT low 
off shoulder).

• Lap/shoulder belt MUST be properly 

positioned exactly as shown in 
illustration.

• DO NOT use shoulder belt loose or 

positioned under child’s arms 

(fig. a)

.

• Never use a vehicle “lap-only” belt 

across front of child.

• DO NOT allow child to slide down in

car seat which could position lap belt
across child’s abdomen and shoulder
belt over neck or face.

• If child will not keep vehicle shoulder

belt properly positioned, DO NOT use 
this booster car seat.  Use a different 
child restraint system.

• Vehicle belts MUST lay flat against child 

and MUST not be twisted.
