right as possible.
O
After placing the child in the booster
seat and fastening the seat belt, make
sure the shoulder portion of the belt is
away from the child’s face and neck and
the lap portion of the belt does not cross
the abdomen.
O
Do not put the shoulder belt behind the
child or under the child’s arm. If you
must install a booster seat in the front
seat, see “Booster seat installation”
later in this section.
O
When your booster seat is not in use,
keep it secured with a seat belt to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in case
of a sudden stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a
closed vehicle can become very hot. Check
the seating surface and buckles before plac-
ing your child in the booster seat.
Booster seats of various sizes are offered
by several manufacturers. When selecting
any booster seat, keep the following
points in mind:
O
Choose only a booster seat with a
label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213.
O
Check the booster seat in your vehicle
to be sure it is compatible with the ve-
hicle’s seat and seat belt system.
O
Make sure the child’s head will be
properly supported by the booster
seat or vehicle seat. The seatback
must be at or above the center of the
child’s ears. For example, if a low back
booster seat
q
1
is chosen, the vehicle
seatback must be at or above the cen-
ter of the child’s ears. If the seatback
is lower than the center of the child’s
ears, a high back booster seat
q
2
should be used.
