The Graco Booster Max R129 is an enhanced child restraint system designed to provide safety and comfort for children within a specific height range. This booster seat is approved according to UN Regulation No. 129, making it suitable for use in i-Size compatible and universal vehicle seating positions as indicated by the vehicle manufacturer's user manual.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Graco Booster Max R129 is to elevate a child to a height where the vehicle's adult seat belt can be correctly positioned across their body, specifically across the lap and shoulder. This ensures that the seat belt provides optimal protection in the event of a collision. The booster seat is designed for forward-facing use only, in the direction of vehicle travel. While no booster can guarantee full protection from injury in an accident, proper use of this booster will significantly reduce the risk of serious injury or death to a child.

Usage Features:
The Graco Booster Max R129 offers several features to facilitate ease of use and ensure maximum safety:
- ISOFIX Connectors: The booster seat is equipped with ISOFIX connectors that can be extended or retracted using an adjustment button. These connectors securely attach the booster to the vehicle's ISOFIX anchor points, enhancing stability and reducing forward movement in a crash. Indicators on the ISOFIX connectors turn green when securely attached, providing visual confirmation of correct installation.
- ISOFIX Guides: Included ISOFIX guides help protect the vehicle seat's surface from tearing and assist in guiding the ISOFIX connectors to the anchor points.
- Shoulder Belt Positioning Clip: This clip ensures that the vehicle's shoulder belt is correctly positioned across the child's shoulder, preventing it from riding up on the neck or slipping off the shoulder. The webbing length of the clip can be adjusted by sliding the shoulder harness anchor. For the safest installation, the clip should be level with the highest point of the child's shoulder.
- Cupholders: The booster seat includes cupholders for convenience, allowing children to keep drinks within reach.
- Armrests: Integrated armrests provide comfort for the child during travel. It is crucial that the vehicle's seat belt passes underneath the armrests, not over them, to ensure proper belt positioning.
- Instruction Manual Storage: A dedicated compartment is available for storing the instruction manual, ensuring it is always accessible for reference.
- Soft Goods: The booster seat comes with soft goods (seat cover and inner padding) that are an integral part of the restraint performance. These must always be used with the booster.
Important Usage Guidelines:
- Always read and keep the instruction manual for future reference.
- Ensure all straps holding the booster to the vehicle are tight, and straps restraining the child are adjusted to the child's body and not twisted.
- The booster seat must be replaced if it has been subjected to heavy loads in an accident or if it has been dropped.
- Do not make any alterations or additions to the booster seat without approval from the type approval authority.
- NEVER remove the white EPP/EPS foams, as this can lead to serious safety issues.
- Do not use the seat if its surfaces are too hot from sunlight.
- Never leave a child unattended in the booster seat or vehicle, even for a few minutes.
- Secure all luggage and other objects in the vehicle to prevent injuries in a collision.
- Do not use the booster without its soft goods.
- Always secure the child in the booster, even on short trips.
- Do not leave the booster or other items unbelted or unsecured in the vehicle.
- If not regularly used, remove the booster from the car and store it in a dry, sun-protected environment.
- Avoid using a second-hand booster seat with an unknown history, as it may have invisible structural damages or defects.
- Do not use any load-bearing contact points other than those described and marked on the booster.
- Do not install the booster in vehicle seats facing sideways or rearward, or in vehicle seats that are movable during installation.
- Never put hot liquids in the cupholders to avoid burns.
Maintenance Features:
Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and safety of the Graco Booster Max R129:
- Cleaning Soft Goods: The seat cover and inner padding can be washed with cold water at a temperature below 30°C.
- Drying Soft Goods: Do not wring out the seat cover or inner padding to dry, as this may cause wrinkles. Hang them to dry in the shade.
