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

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Children 12 and under should be properly restrained

in the rear seat whenever possible.

WARNING:

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/or 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.

When installing a child safety seat with combination lap and shoulder
belts:

Use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position.
