Positioning and Securing Your Child with Backrest

WARNING!
• DO NOT use a lap belt only to secure the child. Always use a
lap and shoulder belt with this booster seat.
• Ensure the lap part of the vehicle seat belt sits low across the
child's upper thighs and that the shoulder part does not contact
the child's neck.
• Never route the shoulder part of the vehicle seat belt under the
child's arm or behind their back.
• An improperly positioned vehicle seat belt can allow the lap
part to ride up into the abdomen and cause serious injury in the
event of a crash.
Note: Before using the booster seat for
the first time, you will need to complete the
assembly instructions on page 14.
1 Place the booster seat on the vehicle seat.
2 Push the backrest until it rests against the
vehicle seat back (Fig. A). If the vehicle
seat back is adjustable, move it to the
normal upright position.
Note: If needed, adjust or remove the
vehicle's head restraint to allow the backrest
to lie flat against the vehicle's seat back.
3 Have your child sit in the booster seat and
check the head restraint for proper height
adjustment (Fig. B).
Note: Adjust the head restraint so when seated, the top of the
child's ears are below the top of the head restraint and the
vehicle shoulder belt will be appropriately positioned at or above
the child's shoulder through the shoulder belt guide.
