Devices intended to
improve a child’s comfort or
reposition the shoulder part of a
seat belt can make the belt less
effective and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.
If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
This could
cause very serious injuries during
a crash. It also increases the
chance that the child will slide
under the belt in a crash and be
injured.
This could result
in serious neck injuries during a
crash.
If you decide that a child can safely
ride up front, be sure to:
Carefully read the owner’s manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all safety
information.
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.
Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the floor.
Check that the child’s seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.
Remind the child not to lean
toward the door.
Supervise the child. Even mature
children sometimes need to be
reminded to fasten the seat belts
or sit properly.
Do not put any accessories on a
seat belt.
Two children should never use the
same seat belt.
Do not let a child put the shoulder
part of a seat belt behind the back
or under the arm.
Do not let a child wear a seat belt
across the neck.
