How Your Car Seat Fits in the Car
3e - Booster Seat

Unlike other child safety seats, booster seats don't really "install." They "boost" the child up to a position where the vehicle's safety belt will cross the body to properly do its job. If you are using a combination seat (a seat that can be used as a forward-facing seat as well as a booster seat), it is important to know that when using the seat as a booster seat you must remove the harness. The other thing to note is that you cannot use a booster seat with a "lap only" safety belt, you must use a "lap/shoulder" belt. As with all other type of child safety seats, read the owners manual for the booster seat.
