NISSAN 2011 Altima Hybrid - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 47)

LARGER CHILDREN
Children who are too large for child restraints
should be seated and restrained by the seat belts
which are provided. The seat belt may not fit
properly if the child is less than 4 ft 9 in (142.5
cm) tall and weighs between 40 lbs (18 kg) and
80 lbs (36 kg). A booster seat should be used to
obtain proper seat belt fit.
NISSAN recommends that a child be placed in a
commercially available booster seat if the shoulder
belt fits close to the face or neck or if the lap portion
of the seat belt goes across the abdomen. The
booster seat should raise the child so that the
shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top,
middle portion of the shoulder and the lap belt is
low on the hips. A booster seat can only be used in
seating positions that have a three-point type seat
belt. The booster seat should fit the vehicle seat
and have a label certifying that it complies with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Cana-
dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Once the
child has grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on
or near the face and neck, use the shoulder belt
without the booster seat.
WARNING
Never let a child stand or kneel on any
seat and do not allow a child in the cargo
area. The child could be seriously injured
or killed in a sudden stop or collision.
