Using a booster seat is very similar to buckling yourself into the vehicle:
•
Read the instruction manuals for both the booster seat and the vehicle before
you start.
•
Put the booster in the back seat in a location with a lap and shoulder belt.
Never use a booster with only a lap belt,
as this could cause serious injuries.
•
Base of booster should be flat on vehicle seat.
•
After the child is in the booster, pull the lap and shoulder belt across and buckle
it.
•
Check that the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the shoulder and that the
lap belt is low on the hips, just touching the thighs.
