Using with the 5-pt Harness 29 28 When to Put Your Child in a Booster Seat Booster seats raise the child up and help to position the vehicle lap and shoulder belt correctly. When the child is properly restrained in a booster seat, their risk of injury in all types of crashes is reduced, as the lap and shoulder belt provides excellent restraint of both the upper and lower torsos. It is important for the child to sit properly within the vehicle seat belts. When the vehicle seat belt is buckled, the lap belt should be low on the hips, just touching the thighs, and the shoulder belt should lie across the middle of the shoulder. If the child leans out or moves the belt behind the back or places it under the arm, it will not provide the intended restraint. There are a number of things to consider when deciding whether the child is ready to sit in a booster seat, including: the weight and height rating on their current child seat, the child’s own weight and height, their maturity, and the seating positions available in your vehicle. How is a booster seat used? Using a booster seat is very similar to buckling yourself into the vehicle: • Read the instruction manuals for both the booster seat and the vehicle before you start. • Put the booster in the back seat in a location with a lap and shoulder belt. Never use a booster with only a lap belt, as this could cause serious injuries. • After the child is in the booster, pull the lap and shoulder belt across him/her and buckle it. • Check that the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the shoulder and that the lap belt is low on the hips, just touching the thighs. How can you tell if your child is ready to transition to a booster seat? You should consider using a booster seat if the following conditions apply: • The child is mature enough to sit in the booster seat and not put the belts under their arm or behind their back. • The child is approaching the weight or height limit of the child restraint they are currently using. (Even children who have not outgrown their toddler seat can benefit from the use of a booster seat, if it is used properly.) • If you have a vehicle that does not have a tether anchorage but has lap/shoulder belts available in the back seat, a booster seat may provide better protection than an internal harness seat without the tether. The shoulder belt MUST cross midway between child’s shoulder and neck. The shoulder belt MUST be routed properly. See page 36. Using as a Booster Seat The lap belt is stretched low and snug across the child’s hips. The lap and shoulder belts MUST pass beneath the lower belt guide and fasten into the buckle. Yüklə 6,15 Mb.
