SAFE PRACTICES
• Everyone buckles up, including adults in the back
seat. Make no exceptions. If someone unbuckles,
stop the vehicle. Be firm and consistent from the start
so children know the rules. An unrestrained person
increases the risk of death for everyone else as they
can fly into and injure other passengers.
• Never take a child out of a booster seat for any
reason while the vehicle is moving.
• Do not leave loose objects, bags or luggage in the
passenger area. In a crash they will be much heavier
than usual and can fly around and hurt the people in
the car.
• Do not leave your child unattended in the vehicle,
even for a minute. Your child can get tangled in the
seat belt and strangle.
• This booster seat must be secured when the child
is not in it. This booster seat is a heavy object that
can severely hurt others in a crash if it were to fly
around the car. There are two ways you can secure
this booster seat when the child is not in it to prevent
it from becoming a deadly projectile. You only need
to use one of these ways.
1. Use the rigid LATCH (see page 25-26)
2. Use the vehicle's seat belt to buckle in the empty
booster
