Shoulder belt routing while in booster
mode
While the seat is used in booster
mode the shoulder belt must be
routed over the child’s shoulder.
The belt must pass under the
head rest, between the head rest
and the seat as long as the child’s
shoulders are at or below the
opening betweeen the head rest
and shell.
If the child’s shoulders are high
enough that routing the shoulder
belt under the head rest causes it
to be pulled down the back side
of the shoulder (before passing
through the head rest) and seat
the belt should not be routed
between the seat and head rest.
If the shoulder height causes the
belt to route behind the back
and the top of the ears are still
at or below the top of the head
rest, the shoulder belt should be
routed on top of the head rest.
