3. Position in Vehicle: Place the booster seat firmly against the vehicle's seat back.
4. Secure Child: Route the vehicle's lap belt under the armrests and across your child's lap, ensuring it lies low on the hips. Route the shoulder belt through the red belt guide on the headrest, ensuring it lies flat across your child's chest and shoulder, not on the neck or face.

Backless Booster Conversion:

1. Remove High-Back: Detach the high-back portion from the booster base according to the manual's instructions.
2. Use Belt Positioning Clip: When using the backless booster, attach the included belt positioning clip to the vehicle's shoulder belt to ensure proper fit across your child's shoulder.

Operating Instructions

Ensure your child is properly secured in the booster seat before every journey. The vehicle's seat belt is the primary restraint system when using this booster.

• Child Placement: Guide your child to sit fully back in the booster seat.
• Lap Belt Positioning: Pull the vehicle's lap belt across your child's upper thighs, ensuring it is snug and low on the hips. It should not rest on the stomach.
• Shoulder Belt Positioning: Pull the vehicle's shoulder belt across your child's chest and shoulder. Use the red belt guide on the high-back booster or the included belt positioning clip for the backless booster to ensure the belt is centered on the shoulder and not touching the neck or falling off the shoulder.
• Tighten Belt: Pull the shoulder belt to remove any slack from both the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's seat belt.
• Cup Holders: Utilize the dual-integrated cup holders for beverages or small snacks.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help prolong the life of your Evenflo GoTime LX Booster Car Seat.

• Fabric Care: The padded seat cover is removable and machine-washable. Refer to the care label on the fabric for specific washing instructions. Typically, use cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
• Plastic Components: Wipe plastic parts with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Buckle and Latch: Periodically check the buckle and belt path for debris. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Do not use lubricants.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the booster seat for any signs of wear, damage, or missing parts. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Evenflo GoTime LX Booster Car Seat, refer to the following common solutions:

• Loose Fit in Vehicle: Ensure the booster seat is placed flush against the vehicle's seat back. Verify that the vehicle's seat belt is routed correctly through all guides and pulled taut.
• Shoulder Belt Not Fitting Correctly: Adjust the headrest height to ensure the shoulder belt guide is just above your child's shoulders. For backless mode, ensure the belt positioning clip is used to correctly position the shoulder belt.
• Difficulty Adjusting Headrest: Check for any obstructions or debris in the adjustment mechanism. Ensure the adjustment handle is fully engaged when attempting to move the headrest.
• Buckle Sticking: Clean the buckle mechanism with a damp cloth to remove any food crumbs or debris. Do not use oils or lubricants.
• Child Discomfort: Re-check all belt routings and headrest height to ensure they are appropriate for your child's size. Ensure the seat is free of any foreign objects.
