More children are killed every year as passengers in car crashes than by any other type of injury. To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, read this owner’s manual and your vehicle owner’s manual before installing and using this booster seat. Using a booster seat makes a big difference. By properly using this booster seat and following these instructions (and the instructions that accompany your vehicle), you will greatly reduce the risk of serious injury or death to your child from a crash. Do not be misled by the commonly used term “safety seat”; no restraint system can prevent all injuries in all crashes. Many properly restrained adults and children are injured in motor vehicle crashes, including relatively minor crashes. A properly used booster seat is the best way to minimize injuries to your child and to increase the chances for your child’s survival in most crashes.

Child Requirements

• No booster seat can guarantee absolute protection from injury in every crash.
• To use this booster seat properly, children MUST meet weight/size specifications as follows:
• 18 – 49.8 kg (40 – 110 lbs)
• 102 – 145 cm (40 – 57 inches) tall
• Child is at least four years old or older
• Ears below top of vehicle seat headrest

WARNING

Failure to follow each of the following instructions can result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. These instructions and the instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual must be followed carefully. If there is a conflict between the two, the vehicle owner’s manual regarding booster seat installation must be followed. 

NEVER leave child unattended. In addition to the height and weight requirements, your child must be at least four years old to use this booster seat.

Air Bag Warnings

• DO NOT use this restraint in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with an air bag. Air bags may cause serious injury or death to children 12 and under. If your vehicle has an air bag, refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for booster seat installation.
• If the rear seat of your vehicle is equipped with side air bags, refer to the following information for proper usage. Vehicles built prior to the 2002 model year: DO NOT use this restraint in a vehicle seating position equipped with a side air bag unless authorized by the vehicle manufacturer. Model year 2002 and newer vehicles: Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual before placing this restraint in a seating position equipped with a side air bag.
• DO NOT place any objects between the restraint and the side air bag, as an expanding air bag may cause the items to strike your child. The forward-facing rear seat is the  safest place for children 12 and under.

Location Warnings

• According to statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in a rear seating position than in the front seating position. Children 12 and under should ride in the back seat of the vehicle.
• Use this booster seat only on forward-facing vehicle seats. DO NOT use this booster seat with vehicle seats which face the rear or side of the vehicle.
• Use this booster seat only in seating locations equipped with lap and shoulder belts.
• Use this booster seat only on vehicle seats with backs that lock into place.
• DO NOT recline the vehicle seat back when using this booster.
• Some booster seats do not fit in all vehicles. If the booster seat cannot be properly installed, DO NOT use the booster seat. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual, try a different seating location, or call Evenflo for further assistance.

Booster Seat Position Warnings

• DO NOT use this booster seat rear-facing.
• When using this booster seat, the headrest on the vehicle seat that the child faces should be put in its lowest position. The vehicle seat back that the child faces must be fully padded and free of any hard objects.

Seat Belt Warnings

• DO NOT use this booster seat in a seating position with vehicle with door-mounted seat belts.
• DO NOT use this booster seat in a vehicle with seat belts that automatically move along the vehicle frame when the door is opened. These seat belts will not hold a booster seat properly.
• When using this booster seat, NEVER use a lap belt only. You MUST use vehicle seat belts that have a lap/shoulder combination.
• DO NOT use this booster seat if the child’s ears are above the back of the vehicle seat headrest.
• Failure to adjust the seat belt snugly around your child may result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during a sudden stop or crash. Serious injury or death may occur.

WARNING

Additional Warnings

• DO NOT use this booster seat if it has been involved in an accident. It must be replaced.
• DO NOT use this booster seat if it is damaged or has broken or missing parts.
• This booster seat must be securely belted to the vehicle at all times. An unsecured booster seat may injure someone during a sudden stop or crash.
• DO NOT attach additional padding, toys, or other devices to the booster seat. Items not tested with the booster seat could injure the child.
• In hot, sunny weather cover the seat with a light colored blanket when you leave the vehicle. Always check the seat for hot surfaces before putting a child into the seat.

Safe Practices

• Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does not go. Make no exceptions for adults or children. If someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline problems as children get older. An unrestrained person can be thrown into and injure other passengers.
• NEVER tend to a crying child’s needs while driving. Never take a child out of a booster seat for comforting while the vehicle is moving.
• DO NOT allow a child to have objects such as lollipops or ice cream on a stick. These objects can injure the child if the vehicle swerves or hits a bump.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose can be deadly in a crash.
• In cold weather a child may need an extra blanket for warmth. Put the child in the booster seat and cover both the belted child and the booster seat with a blanket.

Motor Vehicle/Aircraft Usage

When properly installed pursuant to these instructions, this booster seat is certified for use only in passenger and multi-purpose passenger motor vehicles, buses, and trucks equipped with Type II seat belts. 
This booster seat is NOT certified for aircraft use. A belt-positioning booster requires the use of a lap/shoulder belt system, which is not available on aircraft.

Description 

The Evenflo Amp No-back Booster Car Seat is a practical and lightweight booster designed for portability and ease of use. Its adjustable armrests and machine washable pad make it comfortable and convenient for both parents and children. The compact design allows for easy transfer between vehicles.

Attaching the Seat Pad

1. Position seat facing up. Wrap the seat pad around the front of the seat. Make sure the seat pad is straight and positioned correctly on the seat.
2. Connect elastic loops to hooks on the underside of the seat.
3. Wrap the seat pad around the back of the seat. Make sure the seat pad is straight and positioned correctly on the seat. Connect elastic loops to hooks on the underside of the seat.

When to Put Your Child in a Booster Seat

Booster seats raise the child up and help to position the vehicle lap and shoulder belt correctly. When the child is properly restrained in a booster seat, their risk of injury in all types of crashes is reduced, as the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belt provides excellent restraint of both the upper and lower torso.  It is important for the child to sit properly within the vehicle seat belts. When the vehicle seat belt is buckled, the lap belt should be low on the hips, just touching the thighs, and the shoulder belt should lie across the middle of the shoulder. If the child leans out or moves the belt behind the back or places it under the arm, it will not provide the intended restraint.
There are a number of things to consider when deciding whether the child is ready to sit in a booster seat, including: the weight and height rating on their current child seat, the child’s own weight and height, their maturity, and the seating positions available in your vehicle.  
How is a booster seat used?
Using a booster seat is very similar to buckling yourself into the vehicle:

• Read the instruction manuals for both the booster seat and the vehicle before you start.
• Put the booster in the back seat in a location with a lap and shoulder belt. Never use a booster with only a lap belt, as this could cause serious injuries.
• After the child is in the booster, pull the lap and shoulder belt across him/her and buckle it.
• Check that the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the shoulder and that the lap belt is low on the hips, just touching the thighs.

How can you tell if your child is ready to transition to a booster seat? 
You should consider using a booster seat if the following conditions apply:

• The child is mature enough to sit in the booster seat and not put the belts under their arm or behind their back.
• The child is approaching the weight or height limit of the child restraint they are currently using.
• If you have a vehicle that does not have a tether anchorage but has lap/shoulder belts available in the back seat, a booster seat may provide better protection than a 5-pt harness seat without the tether.

Using the Amp No-back Booster Seat

Child Requirements

• Weight: 18 – 49.8 kg (40 – 110 lbs)
• Height: 102 – 145 cm (40 – 57 inches)
• Age: At least four years old Ears below the top of the vehicle seat headrest

WARNING

Route lap/shoulder belt under armrests ONLY.

Installation Checklist

1. Place the booster seat on the vehicle seat. 
2. Set the child in the booster seat.
   Make sure the child’s back is flat against the vehicle seat, and the child’s bottom is flat against the booster seat.
3. Secure the child and booster seat to the vehicle seat.
   Stretch the lap/shoulder belt under the armrests and across the child and fasten the buckle.

4. Use the shoulder belt clip, if necessary.
   If the shoulder belt does not properly lay midway between the child’s shoulder and neck, attach and adjust the belt clip (see Using the Shoulder Belt Clip, pages 18/19).
   WARNING
   The shoulder belt MUST NOT cross the child’s neck or fall off the child’s shoulder. If you can not adjust the shoulder belt to properly lay midway between   the child’s shoulder and neck, try another seating  location or do not use the booster seat.

   

5. Check your work.
   Make sure the lap belt is stretched low and snug across the child’s hips, beneath the armrests, and fastened into the buckle. The shoulder belt must cross the child midway between his/her shoulder and neck. Note: If the vehicle’s shoulder belt naturally crosses the child’s shoulder, you do not need to use the shoulder belt clip.

Important
Always secure the booster seat with the vehicle seat belts when not occupied. An unsecured booster seat can fly into and injure other occupants during a sudden stop or crash.

Using the Amp Shoulder Belt Clip

Styles may vary.
If the shoulder belt does not properly lay midway between the child’s shoulder and neck, attach and adjust the belt clip for proper belt placement.

1. Remove the shoulder belt clip harness A from the storage area B beneath the booster C.
   Note: Be sure to remove the rubber band around the strap and dispose of it properly.
2. Place booster C on the vehicle seat and attach the shoulder belt clip A to the shoulder belt D.
3. Pull the adjustment strap E until belt clip A is even with the child’s shoulder and the shoulder belt D lays across the child’s chest midway between his/her shoulder and neck.
4. To store the shoulder belt clip harness, fold it and place it in the storage area B.

If the shoulder belt does not properly lay midway between the child’s shoulder and neck, attach and adjust the belt clip for proper belt placement.

1. Thread the looped end of the shoulder belt clip strap A through the anchor point on the back of the booster B.
2. Thread the shoulder belt clip C through the loop at the end of the strap A and pull until tight.
3. Place booster B on the vehicle seat and attach the shoulder belt clip C to the vehicle shoulder belt D.
4. Pull the adjustment strap E until belt clip C is even with the child’s shoulder and the vehicle shoulder belt D lays across the child’s chest midway between his/her shoulder and neck.
