Locate the correct anchor on the back

panel of the rear seat for the selected

seating position. The anchors are

labeled with the tether strap symbol

and are partially covered by the gap

panel. Pull the panel back to fully

expose the anchors.

Clip the tether strap to the anchor as

shown.

Tighten the child safety seat tether

strap according to the manufacturer's

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNING

Never place, or allow a child to place,

the shoulder belt under a child's arm

or behind the back because it

reduces the protection for the upper part

of the body and may increase the risk of

injury or death in a crash.

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for

children who have outgrown or no longer

properly fit in a child safety seat (generally

children who are less than 4 feet 9 inches

(1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four

(4) and less than age twelve (12), and

between 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and

80 pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to

100 pounds (45 kilograms) if

recommended by your child restraint

manufacturer). Many state and provincial

laws require that children use approved

booster seats until they reach age eight, a

height of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall,

or 80 pounds (36 kilograms).

Booster seats should be used until you can

answer YES to ALL of these questions

when seated without a booster seat:

E142595

•

Can the child sit all the way back

against their vehicle seat back with

knees bent comfortably at the edge of

the seat cushion?

•

Can the child sit without slouching?

•

Does the lap belt rest low across the

hips?

•

Is the shoulder belt centered on the

shoulder and chest?

•

Can the child stay seated like this for

the whole trip?

Always use booster seats in conjunction

with your vehicle lap and shoulder belt.
