Children are safer in the back seat
of a vehicle. Do not position a child
riding in this booster seat in the
front seat of a vehicle with active air
bags. If the vehicle has side-impact
air bags, refer to the vehicle owner's
manual to find out if the safety seat
may be installed next to the side-
impact air bag.
Place the booster on a vehicle seat
that has both a lap and shoulder
seat belt. Never use this booster
with a lap belt only. The seat belts
cannot be mounted to the door
of the vehicle or attached to an
automatic track where the seat belt
moves when the door opens and
closes.
Only install this safety seat on a
vehicle cushion that faces forward.
Do not install on a vehicle cushion
that faces to the rear or to the side
of the vehicle. And only install on
vehicle cushions with backs that lock
into place.
Place the booster seat against the
vehicle seat back. Make sure the
bottom and back of the booster seat
are touching the vehicle seat and
back. Do not recline the vehicle seat
when using this booster.
Never use foam noodles, rolled
towels or sheets behind or
underneath the booster seat.
Place a child in the booster so that
the child's back and bottom are
flat against the back and bottom
surfaces of the booster. Children
cannot wear thick coats or bulky
clothing while riding in the seat.
