Safety 21 Integrated booster seat (Accessory) The integrated booster seat in the back is intended for children weighing 33-80 lbs. (15-36 kg) and between 38 and 54 inches (97 and 137 cm) tall. When seated in the integrated booster seat, the child must wear the standard three-point safety belt. Whatever the age or weight of the child, it is vital that the safety belt be worn correctly. The seat should always be kept clean and intact to ensure that it continues to function as intended. Folding down To fold the seat down, pull the strap provided between the seat and the backrest. Fastening the safety belt WARNING Never wear a safety belt with the diagonal strap positioned behind your back or slipped off the shoulder and under your arm. • Seat the child well back in the seat, snug against the backrest. • Pull out the safety belt smoothly and insert the tongue in the lock. Check that it is securely fastened. • Ensure that the lap strap is positioned low across the hips and that the diagonal strap is well in on the shoulder, although not touching the neck or in a position that creates discomfort. • For optimum protection, the safety belt should be snug against the body. Pull the diagonal strap towards the shoulder to take up any slack. • After fastening the belt, grasp the strap at the shoulder, pull it out and, without letting go, allow the slack to be taken up by the reel. Make sure that the strap is well in on the shoulder. • Check that the belt runs freely between the reel and the lock. To fold the seat away Fold back the seat and ensure that it is locked in position. IB605
