2023 LINCOLN CORSAIR Owners Manual

If a vehicle seating position has a low seatbackrest or no head restraint, a backlessbooster seat may place your child's head, asmeasured at the tops of the ears, above thetop of the seat. In this case, move thebackless booster to another seating positionwith a higher seat backrest or head restraintand lap and shoulder belts, or consider usinga high-back booster seat.
•High-back booster seats
If, with a backless booster seat, you cannotfind a seating position that adequatelysupports your child's head, a high-backbooster seat would be a better choice.
Children and booster seats vary in size andshape. Choose a booster that keeps the lapbelt low and snug across the hips, never upacross the stomach, and lets you adjust theshoulder belt to cross the chest and restsnugly near the center of the shoulder.
The following drawings compare the idealfit to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close tothe neck and a shoulder belt that could slipoff the shoulder. The drawings also showhow the lap belt should be low and snugacross the child's hips.
