WARNING!
• Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or
child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The
child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the child
restraint manufacturer's directions exactly when
installing an infant or child restraint.
• After a child restraint is installed in the vehicle, do not
move the vehicle seat forward or rearward because it
can loosen the child restraint attachments. Remove the
child restraint before adjusting the vehicle seat posi-
tion. When the vehicle seat has been adjusted, reinstall
the child restraint.
• When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the
vehicle with the seat belt or LATCH anchorages, or
remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident, it could strike the
occupants or seatbacks and cause serious personal
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 seat belt in a rear seat. Use this simple 5-step test to
decide whether the child can use the vehicle's seat belt alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the back of the
vehicle seat?
2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably over the front of
the vehicle seat – while the child is still sitting all the way
back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child's shoulder between
the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the
child's thighs and not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was "no," then the
child still needs to use a booster seat in this vehicle. If the
child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check seat belt fit peri-
odically and make sure the seat belt buckle is latched. A
