31 Safety
Integrated booster seat
(accessory)
The integrated booster seat in the back is
intended for children weighing 33–80 lbs.
(15–36 kg) and between 38 and 54 inches
(97 and 137 cm) tall.
When seated in the integrated booster seat,
the child must wear the standard three-point
safety belt.
Whatever the age or weight of the child, it is
vital that the safety belt be worn correctly.
The seat should always be kept clean and
intact to ensure that it continues to function
as intended.
Folding down
1 Pull the opening strap on the side of the
booster seat outwards to release the
catch securing the seat.
2 Fold down the booster seat cushion by
grasping the upper edge and pulling
outwards.
Fastening the safety belt
• Seat the child well back in the seat, snug
against the backrest.
• Pull out the safety belt smoothly and
insert the tongue in the lock. Check that it
is securely fastened.
• Ensure that the lap strap is positioned low
across the hips and that the diagonal
strap is well in on the shoulder, although
not touching the neck or in a position that
creates discomfort.
• For optimum protection, the safety belt
should be snug against the body. Pull the
diagonal strap towards the shoulder to
take up any slack.
• After fastening the belt, grasp the strap at
the shoulder, pull it out and, without letting
go, allow the slack to be taken up by the
reel. Make sure that the strap is well in on
the shoulder.
• Check that the belt runs freely between
the reel and the lock.
To fold the seat away
Fold back the seat and ensure that it is
locked in position.
WARNING
Never wear a safety belt with the diagonal
strap positioned behind your back or
slipped off the shoulder and under your
arm.
