Child Restraints
Older Children
Older children who have outgrown booster
seats should wear the vehicle's seat belts.
Refer to
How to Wear Seat Belts Properly
The manufacturer instructions that come
with the booster seat state the weight and
height limitations for that booster. Use a
booster seat with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the fit test below:
.
Sit all the way back on the seat. Do the
knees bend at the seat edge? If yes,
continue. If no, return to the booster seat.
.
Fasten the lap-shoulder belt. Does the
shoulder belt rest on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, then return to the
booster seat.
.
Does the lap belt fit low and snug on the
hips, touching the thighs? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
.
Can proper seat belt fit be maintained for
the length of the trip? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
Q: What is the proper way to wear seat
belts?
A:
An older child should wear a lap-shoulder
belt and get the additional restraint a
shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder
belt should not cross the face or neck.
The lap belt should fit snugly below the
hips, just touching the top of the thighs.
This applies belt force to the child's
pelvic bones in a crash. It should never
be worn over the abdomen, which could
cause severe or even fatal internal
injuries in a crash.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in a rear
seating position.
