Thread the seat belt through or around the Booster Seat
according to the
Booster Seat manufacturer’s
instructions, ensuring the belt is straight without any
twists.
Buckle the seat belt, listening for a click to conrm it's
secure. Conrm that
it is latched by trying to pull the
latch out with the belt.
Make sure that the shoulder belt is routed over the
child’s collar bone
and chest—not the neck—and under
the arm closest to the buckle.
Make sure that the lap belt is low and tight across the
child’s hips, not over the abdomen.
If the seat belt cannot t properly, your
child may need
to be in a Forward-Facing Car Seat instead.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and
precautions may in serious injury or death.
A child’s preference
Sometimes,
a child
may resist being in Forward-Facing Car Seats
or Booster Seats and may think they are too “grown up” for them.
Do not let your child make adult decisions. What is important is
not how “grown-up” your child wants to be, but how large your
child actually is. If you allow a child to ride in a restraint that does
not t or is not proper for the child’s size, you risk serious injury
and death to that child.
Sleeping and moving children
Make
sure
that
all occupants remain properly belted throughout
your drive. Children may move or fall asleep and end up with a
seat belt improperly positioned, particularly if it was not snugly
and properly positioned to begin with. Check the children
periodically. If you nd that one or more is not properly belted,
pull over and re-route the seat belt to make sure that the child is
properly belted.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and
precautions may in serious injury or death.
Children in Car Seats and Booster Seats warnings
WARNING:
The driver must always make sure that all
occupants are belted
properly before driving,
and that they all remain belted properly while
driving. Failure to do so could lead to serious
injury and death.
Every occupant must be restrained properly in
a seat, Car
Seat, or Booster Seat as is
appropriate for that occupant’s size. Failure of
an occupant to be restrained could result in
serious injury and death to that occupant and
to other occupants who may be struck by the
unrestrained occupant.
