• Never use a vehicle lap-only belt across front of child.
• DO NOT allow child to slouch or slide down in the booster
seat.
• DO NOT position vehicle belt over top of armrests.
• Vehicle’s seat headrest SHOULD NOT create a gap
between vehicle seat and booster seat.
• The front of booster seat MUST NOT hang over front of
vehicle seat.
• If child will not keep vehicle belt properly positioned, DO
NOT use this booster seat. Use a different car seat.
When forward-facing, children should use the built-in
harness system for as long as possible until they reach
the maximum forward-facing weight or height for their car
seat. At that point, children should ride in a belt-positioning
booster seat. A booster is no longer needed once the vehicle
seat belt fits properly, typically when they reach 4 feet 9
inches (145 cm) tall and are between ages 8-12. Be sure to
check your local and state laws, as well as AAP and NHTSA
recommendations, for car seat usage.
