Motor Vehicle Installation
Securing Child for Transportation in Motor Vehicle
1. Before securing the child for transportation in Motor Vehicle, read and complete the
instructions in the preceding two sections: “Vehicle LATCH Belt Installation” and
“5-point Positioning Harness Adjustment.”
2. Ensure the child is properly positioned in the Booster Car Seat with the 5-point
Positioning Harness (Figure 9).
3. Fasten Vehicle’s 3-Point Lap and Shoulder Seatbelt across the child. The Vehicle’s
Lap Belt should rest flat across child’s lap (Figure 12).
4. Feed the Vehicle’s Shoulder Belt through the Booster Car Seat Shoulder Belt Guide
(Red Plastic). Note: Booster Car Seat Shoulder Belt Guide must be used on the
OPPOSITE side of the Vehicle Seatbelt Buckle (see Figure 12).
5. Adjust Booster Car Seat Shoulder Belt Guide level with child’s shoulders (Figure
13). Ensure Vehicle’s Shoulder Belt lies flat across child’s shoulder and does NOT
contact child’s neck.

WARNING:
If the Vehicle’s 3-Point Seatbelt is not positioned correctly, then the
Booster Car Seat is not properly installed:
• The Vehicle’s Seatbelt Shoulder Strap should lay flat across child’s shoulder
and must NOT contact child’s neck.
• The Vehicle’s 3-Point Seatbelt Lap Strap position should be forward and as low
as possible over child’s pelvis and contacting the upper thigh.
7. Verify child is secure by ensuring there is no slack in the Vehicle’s Lap and Shoulder
Seatbelt System.
8. Confirm the Vehicle’s Seatbelt Buckle is in the correct position (see section
‘Positioning the Vehicle’s Seatbelt Buckle’).

important to confirm correct seatbelt buckle position to ensure secure installation.
