Proper installation and use depends
on you! If you do not follow the instructions in this manual and the labels on
the booster car seat, paying particular
attention to the warning statements,
your child could be at risk of striking
the vehicle’s interior during a sudden
stop or crash, resulting in serious injury
or death.
▲
Use only the vehicle’s lap and shoulder
belt system when restraining the child
in this booster car seat. Using a lap belt
only will still allow your child’s head
to move forward in a sudden stop or
crash, possibly causing your child’s
head to strike the vehicle’s interior or
your child’s knees hard enough to cause
injury or death.
▲
NEVER leave an unoccupied and
unsecured booster car seat in your
vehicle. If left unsecured, the booster
car seat could injure other occupants
in a sudden stop or crash.
▲
NEVER put anything on your vehicle
seat (such as a cushion) to raise the
booster car seat. This will create too
much slack in the vehicle belt system.
In a sudden stop or crash, a loose
vehicle belt system will not be able to
properly restrain your child.
▲
NEVER use the booster car seat after
it is involved in an accident. An accident
can cause damage to the booster car
seat that you cannot see.
▲
NEVER allow the shoulder belt to be
moved off of your child’s shoulder. It
is critical that your child not move the
shoulder belt out of position after you
have adjusted it.
