BACKLESS MODE:
BUCKLING YOUR CHILD IN THE BOOSTER
1. Have the child sit in the
booster seat up straight
(1) and the child must
sit all the way back (2) so
that his back touches the
backrest of the vehicle seat.
Make sure the child is not
slouching. Slouching is
dangerous as it puts the
lap belt on the soft belly.
2. Route the lap and
shoulder belt as shown in
the picture . Route the lap
belt under both armrests.
Why? When the lap belt
goes under both armrests,
the armrests keep the
lap belt on the strong hip
bones. When the lap belt
goes over an armrest the lap
belt puts the crash forces on
the child's soft belly which
causes serious injuries.
