seat from being moved to the rearmost position in its fore and aft
adjustment range.
• Always make sure the backrest is in an upright position .

Booster seats and safety belts
Properly used booster seats can help protect children
weighing between about 40 lbs. and 80 lbs. (18 kg and
36 kg) who are less than 4 ft .
9 in.
(57 inches/1 .45 meters) tall .

restrained in a booster
seat
The vehicle's safety belts alone will not fit most children until
they are at least 4 ft . 9 in. (57 inches/1.45 meters) tall and
weigh about 80 lbs. (36 kg). Booster seats raise these chil-
dren up so that the safety belt will pass properly over the
stronger parts of their bodies and the safety belt can help
protect them in a crash.
- Do not use the convertible locking retractor when using
the vehicle 's safety belt to restra in a child on a booster
seat .
- Always position the shoulder portion of the safety belt
midway over the child's shoulder .
- Always make sure that the shoulder portion of the safety
belt never rests against or across the child's neck. _.,
