WARNING!
!
DUE TO VARYING ANGLES OF VEHICLE SEAT
BELT RETRACTORS, EXCESS SLACK IN THE
VEHICLE BELT SYSTEM MIGHT NOT BE REMOVED
AUTOMATICALLY. Once the lap and shoulder portions
of the seat belt are properly positioned and the
buckle is attached, FEED ANY REMAINING SLACK
OF THE SEAT BELT MANUALLY BACK INTO THE
RETRACTOR TO TIGHTEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM.
See “Assembling/disassembling child restraint”
for instructions for removing the backrest. Once
backrest is removed, turn recline knob clockwise until
end is reached to retract the base plate on the bottom
of the seat.
1. Place the booster seat firmly against the back of a
forward-facing vehicle seat in a position equipped
with a vehicle 3-point lap-and-shoulder belt and
headrest. Booster must be level, stable and not rock
side-to-side (see “Choosing an appropriate vehicle
seat location”).
2. Have your child sit on the booster seat with their back
flat against the vehicle seat.
3. 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. 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.
4. Buckle vehicle seat belt into place and ensure it is
secure by gently pulling on it.
