Label B Label A

IMPORTANT: Follow this advice.

Label A Smaller Child - Lower Shoulder Height Marker

Label B Larger Child - Upper Shoulder Height Marker

The seat can be used until the child’s shoulders reaches the top marker (label B) with the headrest fully raised. Usually the shoulder will contact the bottom of the headrest, it is then time to move to the next form of restraint. For maximum

safety continue to use this seat as long as the child ts in it.

Once the child no longer ts, move to the next form of child restraint, see page 29.

When moving from a child restraint with in-built harness the child’s shoulders will be in line with or above the lowest marker (label A) with the headrest in the lowest position, if the child’s shoulders are below this marker the child needs to be in a child seat with an in-built harness.

Note: These heights also apply if you are using a Child Harness with this Booster Seat.

HOW TO USE

METHOD 1: USING LAP-SASH SEAT BELT WITH CHILD SAFETY HARNESS.

Refer to the Harness instructions for

tting the gated slide to the lap-sash seat belt. Once tted, position the gated slide

near to the child (under the armrest) but not touching the child. Thread the converted lap-sash seat belt through the harness strap loops as shown left. Ensure there are no twists in the harness, cross strap and seat belt.

Important Note: Some vehicle seat belts are too short and you may experience

some difculty tting the converted

lap-sash around your child. If so, adjust the gated slide nearer to your child, (ensure the slide does not touch your child). This may provide more belt length

to t your child, but if the belt still will not t, try another location in the vehicle,

e.g.. side seat. If the vehicle seatbelts are still too short, then contact the vehicle manufacturer for advice on longer seat belts.

Consult the vehicle owner's handbook for location of anchorage ttings or

anchorage points and the possible use of spacers. Some vehicles may have an

anchor tting tted by the vehicle manufacturer. If anchorage points cannot be found refer to car manufacturer or local child restraint tting station or trafc

authority for optimum position of anchorage point and the use of spacers.

IMPORTANT:

THE ATTACHMENT CLIP COVER MUST ALWAYS BE USED AS IT PREVENTS THE RISK OF INCORRECT FITMENT OF THE ATTACHMENT CLIP TO THE ANCHOR FITTING. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE ATTACHMENT CLIP IS CORRECTLY ENGAGED TO THE AN-

CHOR FITTING AND NOT HOOKED OR FITTED TO ANY OTHER OBJECT BEFORE EACH

USE OF THE RESTRAINT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN VEHICLES SUCH AS STATION WAGONS, VANS, HATCH BACKS OR VEHICLES WITHOUT A FIXED PARCEL SHELF, SINCE THE ANCHOR POINT IS USUALLY NOT VISIBLE.

Precautions to prevent reducing the safety offered by this

Booster Seat.

1. Ensure the seatbelt is used and tted correctly. The lap belt must be on thighs

and not the abdomen and the sash belt must always be across the chest.

2. Always thread the sash belt through sash guide.

3. Do not cause the seat to be reclined in any way.

4. Ensure the child does not slouch or slump where the sash belt is across the

abdomen. This is dangerous.

5. Do not place the seatbelt behind the back or under the arm. It is dangerous.

6. Do not use the seat belt in any other way other than following the red

BOOSTER

SEATBELT PATH seat belt path labels.

7. Ensure that if you are using a child safety harness that the lap belt is rm on

the child’s thighs and not on the abdomen. Do not tighten the Child Harness tether strap, just remove slack.

8. Ensure you advise the child not to undo the seat belt buckle unless told to do so.

If your restraint has been involved in a severe crash, you should destroy the restraint even if no damage is obvious. Some insurance companies offer vehicle insurance which covers or partially covers the replacement of your child restraint. Contact your insurance company for further details. Your insurance company may require you to keep the child restraint for assessment, but do not use the child restraint after a severe crash.
