If safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted as
described, the risk of serious injury to the child in a

If the shoulder belt portion of one of the lap and shoulder belts

belt. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may
help provide a good shoulder belt fit.

seats raise the child and provide a shorter, firmer seating
cushion that encourages safer seating posture and better fit of

face or neck, or if the lap belt does not fit snugly on both
