Seat Belt Positioning
Ensure the vehicle's lap belt is positioned low across your child's hips, touching the thighs. The integrated lap belt guides on the booster seat help achieve this. Use the included shoulder belt clip to position the vehicle's shoulder belt across the center of your child's shoulder and chest, away from the neck.
