Graco PM-1589AB - Manual (Page 12)

Remove harness system (see “Harness System -
removal and re-assembly” section).
Place child in car seat with child’s back flat
against back of car seat.
Place shoulder belt across child’s chest.
Buckle belt and pull shoulder belt to adjust lap
belt snugly.
Shoulder belt MUST lay across child’s shoulder
in red zone as shown (fig. b). If outside of
red zone, see next steps for Comfort Clip use.
CAUTION:
Some shoulder belts with (emergency
locking) retractors allow a child to pull belt
out and change position of belt. Use of
Comfort Clip helps prevent child from
pulling belt out.

exactly as shown and hook end of Comfort Clip
through proper loop of webbing (fig. c).
Check to be sure shoulder belt is properly
positioned over shoulder in red zone and snug
against child.
Position Head Support in center of car seat
with ends pointing down and snap into belt
slots (fig. d).
To prevent serious injury or death:
• Shoulder belt MUST be properly
positioned over shoulder (NOT
touching child’s neck and NOT low
off shoulder).
• Lap/shoulder belt MUST be properly
positioned exactly as shown in
illustration.
• DO NOT use shoulder belt loose or
positioned under child’s arms (fig. a).
• Never use a vehicle “lap-only” belt
across front of child.
• DO NOT allow child to slide down in
car seat which could position lap belt
across child’s abdomen and shoulder
belt over neck or face.
• If child will not keep vehicle shoulder
belt properly positioned, DO NOT use
this booster car seat. Use a different
child restraint system.
• Vehicle belts MUST lay flat against child
