Churchill Positioning Booster Car Seat is a belt-positioning backless booster seat that is available in two-seat depth options with either positioning vest or positioning harness which is easy to put on and has lower attachment straps that prevent the vest or harness from riding up. The Churchill Special Needs Car Seat by Merritt is designed for children and adults weighing 44 to 175 lbs. and comes with a seat base and torso vest. The unique positioning elements hold the child in place while using the lap and shoulder belts of the car.
The attachment bracket kit is available for use in vehicles that do not have LATCH. Churchill must be installed with LATCH or with the attachment bracket kit. All Vehicles 2003 and newer are equipped with LATCH in at least two rear seating positions, so there should be no installation issues for these vehicles and the attachment bracket will not be necessary. Many 2000 – 2002 models also have the LATCH (See your vehicle owner’s manual to verify if LATCH is present).
For vehicles without LATCH, the attachment bracket can only be used on vehicle seats that you can slide a ruler, or similar object, from the backside of the vehicle seat through the crack in the vehicle seat (where the seat bottom and seat back come together) through to the front side of the seat. This can usually be done in mini-vans and SUVs. Generally, the attachment bracket cannot be installed in the back seat of sedans. Installation of the attachment bracket kit does require that a hole be drilled through the vehicle’s floorboard.
