:eek: anti submarining clip a what??????
omg i have no idea what that is...
the booster seat is just normal...
the lap part of the seat belt doesnt go through anything just over her.
An anti-submarine clip ensures the lap seat belt is correctly positioned on the child's thighs and hips, significantly reducing potential injury to vital organs with the abdomen.
A seat like the SNS Maxi Rider holds up to 26 kg and it includes an anti-submarine clip.

The MaxiRider is a toddler seat and booster seat combined. It has deep wings for side impact protection, a push button harness adjuster, two cup holders which can be rotated in a stored position when not in use. The restraint also has arm rests as well as an upright or recline position. While in the toddler mode the restraint provides a 6 point harness and in the booster position an anti-submarine clip provides additional safety to the child. The restraint has the option of a recline and upright position in both the toddler and booster position as well as being anchored to the vehicle in both modes. The booster position can incorporate a H-harness or a seat belt locator ensures the correct positioning of the adult seat belt. The restraint features a three tone velour finish.
I assume you could buy a H harness or something to add to her seat though?

- A ‘H’ Harness is an additional device that is used with a seat belt at the lap area. It needs to connect with the child restraint anchorage as well.
- A ‘Protecta’ harness is a relatively new device that works similarly to a ‘H’ harness except that the adjustment is in front of the child, secured under a cover. ( Benefit: Fits where the anchor is very close to the car seat i.e.; ‘short hook up’ situations)
ETA: Is her booster like this:

I'd check the full rules though as all states seem to be slightly different.
It's a clip between their legs and it stops them form sliding under the adult seat belt.
