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, his/her risk of injury in all types of crashes is reduced, as the lap and shoulder belt provides excellent restraint of both the upper and lower torsos.
It is important for the child to sit properly within the vehicle seat belts. When the vehicle 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 a child is ready to sit in a booster seat, includ- ing: the weight and height ratings on his/her current child seat, the child's own weight and height, his/her 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 shoul- der 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 a 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 his/her arm or behind his/ her back.
- The child is approaching the weight or height limit of the child restraint he/she is currently using. (Even children who have not outgrown their toddler seat can benefit from the use of a booster seat, if it is used properly.)
- 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 protec- tion than an internal harness seat without the tether.

Using Your Booster Seat with the Backrest
Child Requirements
- Weight: 13.6 to 49.8 kg (30 to 110 lbs)
- Height: 97 to 145 cm (38 to 57 inches)
- Age: At least four years old Ears below top of booster seat headrest
Installation Checklist
- Place the booster seat on the vehicle seat.
- Set the child in the booster seat. Make sure the child's back and bottom are flat against the back and bottom surfaces of the booster seat.
Adjust the backrest and/or headrest of the booster, if necessary. Adjust the backrest and or headrest so the shoulder belt properly lays midway between the child's shoulder and neck (see Adjusting the Backrest, page 16).
WARNING
The shoulder belt MUST NOT cross the child's neck or fall off the child's shoulder. If you cannot 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.- Secure the child and booster seat to the vehicle seat. Stretch the lap/shoulder belt across the child, beneath the armrests, and fasten the buckle. Make certain the shoulder belt is threaded through the shoulder belt guide and at or above the shoulder. If it is below the shoulder, remove the backrest (page 17) and reinstall the booster seat (page 14).
- 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.
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 in the event of a crash.

Important Instructions
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 child restraint. Using a child restraint makes a big difference. By properly using this child restraint and following these instructions (and the instructions that accom-pany 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 child restraint is the best way to minimize injuries to your child and to increase the chances for your child’s survival in most crashes.
