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 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 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 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. (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 protection than an internal harness seat without the tether.

Using Your Evenflo Big Kid Sport No-back Booster Seat

Child Requirements

• Weight: 18 – 45.3 kg (40 – 100 lbs)
• Height: 112 – 145 cm (44 – 57 in.) and tops of the child’s ears are at or below the top of the vehicle seat headrest.
• Age: At least 4 years old

IMPORTANT: Once your child exceeds any of the size requirements above, you MUST discontinue use of this seat. Your child may be ready for use of the vehicle belt system only at this time.

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, see page 16).
   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 in the event of a crash.

Using the Shoulder Belt Clip

Note: Use the Shoulder Belt Clip only when necessary to position the belt so it lays across the child’s chest midway between his/her shoulder and neck.

1. Thread the looped end of the shoulder belt clip belt A through the anchor point on bottom of the booster B.
2. Thread the shoulder belt clip C through the loop at the end of the belt 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.

Using the Cup Holder 

WARNING

• DO NOT use the cup holder to store cans, bottles, or hard containers. Only for use with soft cups.
• DO NOT place any cups that contain hot liquids in the cup holder.
