SECURING CHILD AND
BOOSTER SEAT IN VEHICLE
1. Place booster seat firmly against the back of a
forward-facing vehicle seat. The vehicle seat
MUST
be equipped with a 3-point lap-and-shoulder belt.
Booster must be level, stable and not rock side-to-side
(see “Choosing an appropriate vehicle seat location”).
2. Place child in the booster seat with child’s back flat
against the back of the booster seat.
3. Adjust headrest height so that the bottom of the
headrest is even with the top of the child’s shoulders.
4. Thread the shoulder belt portion of the 3-point lap-
and-shoulder belt through the headrest shoulder
belt guide ❶ and ensure that the
shoulder belt lies across child’s
shoulder and chest, and NOT
across child’s face or neck.
5. Thread both sides of the lap belt
under BOTH armrests. Thread the
lower end of the shoulder belt
under the armrest on the buckle
side ❷ . ENSURE that the belt is
snug across the child’s hips. It is important to ensure
that any lap strap is worn low down, so that the
pelvis is firmly engaged, just touching their thighs
and is NOT across their stomach.
6. Buckle vehicle seat belt into place ❸ and ensure it is
secure by gently pulling on it.
! BOTH SIDES OF THE LAP BELT MUST PASS UNDER
BOTH ARMRESTS, AND THE LOWER END OF THE
SHOULDER BELT MUST PASS UNDER THE ARMREST
ON THE BUCKLE SIDE.
! NEVER USE A VEHICLE LAP-ONLY BELT WHEN USING
THIS CHILD RESTRAINT.
! WARNING : To avoid possible entanglement hazard,
see “Entanglement with vehicle belt”.
