More children are killed every year as passengers
in car crashes than by any other type of injury.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH, read
this owner’s manual and your vehicle owner’s manual
before installing and using this booster seat. Using a
booster seat makes a big difference. By properly using
this booster seat and following these instructions (and
the instructions that accompany your vehicle), you will
greatly reduce the risk of serious injury or death to your
child from a crash. Do not be misled by the commonly
used term “safety seat”; no restraint system can prevent
all injuries in all crashes. Many properly restrained
adults and children are injured in motor vehicle crashes,
including relatively minor crashes. A properly used
booster seat is the best way to minimize injuries to your
child and to increase the chances for your child’s survival
in most crashes.
Failure to follow each of the following instructions can
result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior during
a sudden stop or crash, potentially resulting in serious
injury or death. These instructions and the instructions in
your vehicle owner’s manual must be followed carefully.
If there is a conflict between the two, the vehicle owner’s
manual regarding booster seat installation must be
followed.
• NEVER leave child unattended.
• In addition to the height and weight requirements,
your child must be at least four years old to use this
booster seat.
WARNING
• No booster seat can guarantee absolute protection
from injury in every crash.
• To use this booster seat properly, children MUST meet
weight/size specifications as follows:
Child Requirements
• 18 – 49.8 kg (40 – 110 lbs)
• 102 – 145 cm (40 – 57 inches) tall
• Child is at least four years old or older
• Ears below top of vehicle seat headrest

belts that have a lap/shoulder combination.
• DO NOT use this booster seat if the child’s
ears are above the back of the vehicle seat
headrest.
• Failure to adjust the seat belt snugly around your child
may result in your child striking the vehicle’s interior
during a sudden stop or crash. SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH MAY OCCUR.

lap/shoulder belt system, which is not available on
aircraft.

• Everyone rides buckled up or the vehicle does
not go. Make no exceptions for adults or children. If
someone unbuckles, stop the vehicle. Being firm and
consistent from the start will mean fewer discipline

• NEVER tend to a crying child’s needs while driving.
Never take a child out of a booster seat for comforting
while the vehicle is moving.
• DO NOT allow a child to have objects such as lollipops

child if the vehicle swerves or hits a bump.
• Put sharp or heavy items in the trunk. Anything loose
can be deadly in a crash.
• In cold weather a child may need an extra blanket for
warmth. Put the child in the booster seat and cover
both the belted child and the booster seat with a
blanket.

When to Put Your Child
in a Booster Seat
Booster seats raise the child up and help to position the
vehicle lap and shoulder belt correctly. When the child is
properly restrained in a booster seat, their risk of injury
in all types of crashes is reduced, as the vehicle’s lap and
shoulder belt provides excellent restraint of both the upper
and lower torso.
It is important for the child to sit properly within the
vehicle seat belts. When the vehicle seat belt is buckled,
the lap belt should be low on the hips, just touching the
thighs, and the shoulder belt should lie across the middle of
the shoulder. If the child leans out or moves the belt behind
the back or places it under the arm, it will not provide the
intended restraint.
There are a number of things to consider when deciding
whether the child is ready to sit in a booster seat, including:
the weight and height rating on their current child seat,
the child’s own weight and height, their maturity, and the
seating positions available in your vehicle.
How is a booster seat used?
Using a booster seat is very similar to buckling yourself into
the vehicle:
• Read the instruction manuals for both the booster seat
and the vehicle before you start.
• Put the booster in the back seat in a location with
a lap and shoulder belt. Never use a booster
with only a lap belt, as this could cause serious
injuries.
• After the child is in the booster, pull the lap and shoulder
belt across him/her and buckle it.
• Check that the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the
shoulder and that the lap belt is low on the hips, just
touching the thighs.
How can you tell if your child is ready to transition
to a booster seat?
You should consider using a booster seat if the following
conditions apply:
• The child is mature enough to sit in the booster seat and
not put the belts under their arm or behind their back.
• The child is approaching the weight or height limit of the
child restraint they are currently using.
• If you have a vehicle that does not have a tether
anchorage but has lap/shoulder belts available in the
back seat, a booster seat may provide better protection
than a 5-pt harness seat without the tether.
Lap Belt: Stretched low
and snug across the
child’s hips, beneath the
armrests, and fastened
into the buckle.
Shoulder Belt: Must cross
midway between child’s
shoulder and neck.
Use belt clip, if necessary.

1. Place the booster seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Set the child in the booster seat.
Make sure the child’s back is flat against the vehicle
seat, and the child’s bottom is flat against the booster
seat.
3. Secure the child and booster seat to the
vehicle seat.
Stretch the lap/shoulder belt under the armrests and
across the child and fasten the buckle.
4. Use the shoulder belt clip, if necessary.
If the shoulder belt does not properly lay midway
between the child’s shoulder and neck, attach and
adjust the belt clip (see Using the Shoulder Belt Clip,
pages 12/13).
5. Check your work.
Make sure the lap belt is stretched low and snug
across the child’s hips, beneath the armrests, and
fastened into the buckle. The shoulder belt must
cross the child midway between his/her shoulder and
neck. Note: If the vehicle’s shoulder belt naturally
crosses the child’s shoulder, you do not need to use
the shoulder belt clip.
Using the Amp™
No-back Booster Seat
IMPORTANT
Always secure the booster seat with the vehicle seat belts when
not occupied. An unsecured booster seat can fly into and injure
other occupants during a sudden stop or crash.
Lap Belt: Stretched low
and snug across the
child’s hips, beneath the
armrests, and fastened
into the buckle.
Shoulder Belt: Must cross
midway between child’s
shoulder and neck.
Use belt clip, if necessary.

The shoulder belt MUST NOT cross the child’s neck or
fall off the child’s shoulder. If you can not adjust the
shoulder belt to properly lay midway between
the child’s shoulder and neck, try another seating
location or do not use the booster seat.
