sion. Keep the lap belt positioned
as low on hips as possible.

shoulder belt under child's arm.
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt are not twisted.

buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and buckle.If the seat belt does not function
normally, it cannot protect your
child from injury. Contact your
Toyota dealer immediately. Do not
