Recommendations
Installing a booster
cushion
The chest part of the seat belt must be positioned   on   the   child's   shoulder   without  
t

ouching   the   neck.
Ensure
  that   the   lap   part   of   the   seat   belt  
p

  recommends   the   use   of   a   booster  
s

eat   which   has   a   back,   fitted   with   a   seat   belt  
g

uide   at   shoulder   level.
