[. . . ] · NEVER install the ProBOOSTERin the rear seat of small extended cab pickups, if the ProBOOSTER seat base is not fully supported. · NEVER install the ProBOOSTER side-facing. If your vehicle does not have rear seats, consult your vehicle owner's manual to help identify safety features in your vehicle or contact the vehicle manufacturer. Department of Transportation warn that children 12 and under must ride in the rear seats, away from front airbags. The only exception is if the airbag is turned off. 11 Section 7: Getting to Know Your ProBOOSTER This child restraint system is known as a high back belt-positioning booster seat. A high back beltpositioning booster seat is designed for use with your vehicle's lap and shoulder (3-point) seat belt system. A high back belt-positioning booster helps to locate the vehicle seat belt system properly across a child who has out-grown both an infant carrier and a convertible seat. Vehicle seat belts are designed to protect adults and when used on a child without a belt-positioning booster can do more harm than good. 12 1 1. A proper high back beltpositioning booster fit should allow the lap portion of the vehicle seat belt system to fit low and snug across the lap or upper thigh area of the child. The lap portion of the vehicle seat belt system should NEVER be located across the abdomen or `belly' area of the child. A proper high back beltpositioning booster fit will also allow the shoulder portion of the vehicle seat belt system to fit snug across the chest and collarbone of the child. The shoulder portion of the vehicle seat belt system should NEVER be located across the child's neck. 2 NOTE: It is important to know the correct use of this high back belt-positioning booster and how to determine the fit of the vehicle seat belt to your child. Both the seat base and seat back of the child restraint should fit as close to the vehicle seat as possible. 2 2. If there are large gaps to the vehicle seat as shown, you can move the recline bar to the recline position (flat against the child restraint seat back). The recline bar will close the gaps to the vehicle seat and allow the child restraint to be properly fitted to the vehicle for optimum safety. There should be a minimal amount of gap between the child restraint system and the vehicle seat. 3 4 NOTE: You many need to adjust or remove the vehicle's head restraint to allow the ProBOOSTER to fit properly against the vehicle's seat back. Refer to your vehicle's owners manual for information on how to operate this feature. 22 Section 10: Belt Routing and Positioning Around Your Child You must ALWAYS secure your child in the ProBOOSTER using your lap and shoulder (3-point) vehicle belt system. You MUST always repeat the following steps each time you secure your child in the ProBOOSTER using the lap and shoulder belt system in your vehicle. 1 1. Place your child in the ProBOOSTER and confirm the correct head restraint location (see Section 8: Adjusting the ProBOOSTER to Fit Your Child, pages 18-20). Pull the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt out and around your child and the ProBOOSTER. Position the lap portion of the vehicle seat belt system through the red lower lap belt guides. 23 4 4. Position the lower portion of the vehicle shoulder belt by routing the lower portion of the vehicle belt closest to the vehicle buckle under the arm rest. Position the top portion of the shoulder belt into the red shoulder belt routing guide near the child's ear. 5 6 6. [. . . ] Some vehicle seats are deeply contoured making it difficult to safely install a child restraint. If the ProBOOSTER is not stable due to the vehicle seat cushions, move it to another seating location. If no seating location is suitable, the ProBOOSTER may not be used in this particular vehicle. 34 Section 14: Warranty RECARO North America warranties this product against defects in materials or workmanship to the original purchaser for a period of 12 months.
