PRECAUTIONS ON BOOSTER

SEATS

WARNING

.

Infants and small children should

always be placed in an appropriate

child restraint while riding in the

vehicle. Failure to use a child re-

straint or booster seat can result in

serious injury or death.

.

Infants and small children should

never be carried on your lap. It is not

possible

for

even

the

strongest

adult to resist the forces of a severe

accident. The child could be crushed

between the adult and parts of the

vehicle. Also, do not put the same

seat belt around both your child and

yourself.

.

NISSAN recommends that the boos-

ter seat be installed in the rear seat.

According

to

accident

statistics,

children

are

safer

when

properly

restrained in the rear seat than in

the front seat. If you must install a

booster seat in the front seat, see

(

“BOOSTER

SEAT

INSTALLA-

TION” page 1-29)

.

A

booster

seat

must

only

be

in-

stalled in a seating position that has

a lap/shoulder belt. Failure to use a

three-point

type

seat

belt

with

a

booster seat can result in a serious

injury in sudden stop or collision.

.

Improper use or improper installa-

tion of a booster seat can increase

the risk or severity of injury for both

the child and other occupants of the

vehicle

and

can

lead

to

serious

injury or death in an accident.

.

Do not use towels, books, pillows or

other items in place of a booster

seat. Items such as these may move

during normal driving or a collision

and result in serious injury or death.

Booster seats are designed to be

used with a lap/shoulder belt. Boos-

ter seats are designed to properly

route the lap and shoulder portions

of the seat belt over the strongest

portions of a child’s body to provide

the maximum protection during a

collision.

.

Follow all of the booster seat man-

ufacturer’s instructions for installa-

tion and use. When purchasing a

booster seat, be sure to select one

which will fit your child and vehicle.

It may not be possible to properly

install some types of booster seats

in your vehicle.

.

If the booster seat and seat belt is

not used properly, the risk of a child

being

injured

in

a

collision

or

a

sudden stop greatly increases.

.

Adjustable

seatbacks

should

be

positioned to fit the booster seat,

but as up- right as possible.
