[. . . ] The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle's seat belts properly. If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle's seat cushion while the child's back is against the seat back, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and belt-positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt. CHILDREN TOO LARGE FOR BOOSTER SEATS Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seat back, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat. · The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. A child's squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. · If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer GEM Owner's Manual - Page 52 Understanding the Standard Features of Your Vehicle R to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, carefully follow the instructions that come with the child restraint system. TRANSPORTING PETS Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in a pet harness, or in a pet carrier that is secured by seat belts.
