If the booster seat slides on the vehicle
seat, placing a rubberized mesh sold as
shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat
may improve this condition. Do not
introduce any item thicker than this under
the booster seat. Check with the booster
seat manufacturer's instructions.

INSTALLING CHILD SEATS

Using LAP AND SHOULDER BELTS

WARNINGS

Airbags can kill or injure a child in a
child seat. NEVER place a rear-facing
child seat in front of an active airbag.

If you must use a forward-facing child seat
in the front seat, move the seat all the way
back.

WARNINGS

Children 12 and under should be
properly restrained in the rear seat
whenever possible.

Depending on where you secure a
child restraint, and depending on the
child restraint design, you may block

access to certain safety belt buckle
assemblies and LATCH lower anchors,
rendering those features potentially
unusable. To avoid risk of injury, occupants
should only use seating positions where
they are able to be properly restrained.
