Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup and care ensure the longevity and safety of your Graco Junior Maxi booster seat.
Setup Instructions
- Placement: Place the booster seat firmly on the vehicle's seat, ensuring it's flush against the backrest.
- Child Positioning: Seat your child in the booster seat.
- Adjust Headrest: Adjust the headrest so that the shoulder belt guide is just above your child's shoulder, ensuring the shoulder belt rests correctly across their collarbone.
- Route Seat Belt:
- Thread the vehicle's 3-point lap belt through the red guides at the base of the seat, ensuring it sits low across your child's hips, not their stomach.
- Pull the shoulder belt through the red guide in the headrest. Ensure the belt is not twisted and lies flat across your child's shoulder and chest.
- Buckle Up: Fasten the seat belt, ensuring it's taut and there is no slack.
Compatibility
- Vehicle Compatibility: The Graco Junior Maxi is compatible with most vehicles equipped with a 3-point lap and shoulder seat belt system.
- Child Compatibility: Suitable for children weighing 15-36kg (approximately 4 to 12 years old). Ensure your child's height is appropriate for the seat, with their head not extending beyond the top of the headrest in its highest position.
- Avoid Lap-Only Belts: Never use this booster seat with a vehicle's lap-only seat belt.
- Front Passenger Seat: If used in the front passenger seat, ensure the front airbag is deactivated if your car has this feature, and it is legally permitted in your region. Rear seats are generally safer.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning the Fabric: Info needed: [Specific instructions for removing and washing the seat cover. Typically, machine wash cold on a delicate cycle and air dry. Do not bleach or iron.]
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe the plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the seat for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. If damaged, discontinue use.
- Storage: Store the booster seat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
