IMPORTANT: Make sure to remove bulky or puffy
jackets because they can make the seat belt too loose on
the child’s body during a crash. In winter, it is safe for your
child to wear thin, tight-fitting sweaters and jackets.
IMPORTANT: Make sure some part of the vehicle -
either the seat back or the head restraint - comes to at
least the top of the child’s ears. Many head restraints are
adjustable in height by pulling them upwards.
Why? The top of the ears is the same height as the base of
the child’s skull. When the seat back or the head restraint
comes to at least the top of the ears, the child can not
throw their head back in a crash. This support helps
prevent whiplash injuries.
If the vehicle can not support to the top of the child’s ears
you may not use this booster in backless mode. You must
use this as a highback booster to give the child's head the
support it needs.
