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.
