Securing the Child 1) Make sure booster seat is properly positioned and installed on vehicle seat as per the instructions in pages 7–9 and 11–13. 2) Properly position child: sitting upright and all the way back in the booster seat. 3) Make sure booster seat backrest width is adjusted to narrowest width setting that comfortably fits child (see page 11).
7) Make sure seat belt is not twisted and lays flat across child’s lap, torso and shoulder. 8) Tighten the seatbelt by pulling the diagonal shoulder belt portion in the direction of the arrows. 9) Confirm seatbelt buckle is in correct position (see below).

WARNING: If the diagonal seat belt portion does not correctly fit the child, then the seat must only be used with the seatback portion attached and properly adjusted to fit the child.
