Owner`s manual

INFINITI recommends that the booster seat
be installed in the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat. If you must install a booster
seat in the front seat, see “BOOSTER SEAT
INSTALLATION” later in this section.
A booster seat must only be installed in a
seating position that has a lap/shoulder
belt. Failure to use a three-point type seat
belt with a booster seat can result in a seri-
ous injury in sudden stop or collision.
Improper use or improper installation of a
booster seat can increase the risk or severity
of injury for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle and can lead to serious
injury or death in an accident.
Do not use towels, books, pillows or other
items in place of a booster seat. Items such
as these may move during normal driving or
a collision and result in serious injury or
death. Booster seats are designed to be
used with a lap/shoulder belt. Booster seats
are designed to properly route the lap and
shoulder portions of the seat belt over the
strongest portions of a child’s body to pro-
vide the maximum protection during a
collision.
Follow all of the booster seat manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use. When
purchasing a booster seat, be sure to select
one which will fit your child and vehicle. It
may not be possible to properly install some
types of booster seats in your vehicle.
If the booster seat and seat belt is not used
properly, the risk of a child being injured in a
collision or a sudden stop greatly increases.
Adjustable seatbacks should be positioned
to fit the booster seat, but as up- right as
possible.
After placing the child in the booster seat
and fastening the seat belt, make sure the
shoulder portion of the belt is away from the
child’s face and neck and the lap portion of
the belt does not cross the abdomen.
Do not put the shoulder belt behind the child
or under the child’s arm. If you must install a
booster seat in the front seat, see “BOOSTER
SEAT INSTALLATION” later in this section.
When your booster seat is not in use, keep it
secured with a seat belt to prevent it from
being thrown around in case of a sudden
stop or accident.
CAUTION
Remember that a booster seat left in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating
surface and buckles before placing your child in
the booster seat.
