WARNING!
Be certain that the seat cushion is
locked securely into position before us-
ing the seat. Otherwise, the seat will not provide
the proper stability for child seats and/or passen-
gers. An improperly latched seat cushion could
cause serious injury.
Children Too Large For Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder
belt comfortably and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when their back is
against the seatback should use the lap/shoulder belt in
a rear seat.
(fig. 130)
Seat Belts Latched With Booster Seat(s)
• Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug
as possible.
• Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming or
slouching can move the belt out of position.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move
the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never
allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or
behind their back.
WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead to fail-
ure of an infant or child restraint. It
could come loose in a collision.The child could be
badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer's
directions exactly when installing an infant or
child restraint.
• A rearward-facing child restraint should only
be used in a rear seat. A rearward-facing child
restraint in the front seat may be struck by a
deploying passenger air bag, which may cause
severe or fatal injury to the infant.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of
your child restraint:
• Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it
has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety
