WARNING!
Securely lock the seat cushion into posi-
tion bef
ore using the seat. Otherwise,
the seat will not provide the proper stability for
child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat cushion could cause serious injury.
ChildrenToo Large For Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder
belt comfortably, and whose legs are long enough to
bend over the front of the seat when their back is
against the seatback, should use the seat belt in a rear
seat. Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the
child can use the vehicles seat belt alone:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the back of
the vehicle seat?
2. Do the childs knees bend comfortably over the
front of the vehicle seat while they are still sitting
all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the childs shoulder
between their neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching
the childs thighs and not their stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
If the answer to any of these questions was “no, then
the child still needs to use a booster seat in this vehicle.
If the child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check belt fit
periodically. A childs squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position. If the shoulder belt contacts
the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of
the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back.
