Positioning the Booster Seat

Positioning and Securing Your Child without Backrest

WARNING!
• DO NOT use a lap belt only to secure the child. Always use a
lap and shoulder belt with this booster seat.
• DO NOT use this booster seat without the backrest unless the
booster seat will be properly installed in a vehicle seat with a
head restraint.
• ONLY use this booster seat without the backrest if proper
vehicle seat belt positioning can be achieved—when the vehicle
seat belt's shoulder part crosses the chest and center of the
child's collar bone. 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.
• Use the red belt guides on the child seat to ensure proper fit.
• 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 without the backrest,
you may need to complete the removal instructions on
page 15.
1 Place the booster seat base on the
vehicle seat.
2 Pull the vehicle seat belt from the
retractor, positioning the lap belt
under both armrests and over both
red belt guides (Fig. A).
