‘‘Never let children kneel on seats or
stand while the vehicle is in motion.
The violent forces created during
emergency braking will cause the
children to be thrown forward. The
children could be seriously injured or
killed.’’
To determine if a lap/shoulder belt
properly fits a child, have the child
sit in the rear seat, all the way back
against the seat, and put on the seat
belt. Follow the instructions on page
. Then check how the belt fits.
If the shoulder part of the belt rests
over the child’s collarbone and
against the centre of the chest, and
the lap belt rests over the child’s
hipbones and touches the tops of the
thighs as shown, the child is
probably big enough to wear the seat
belt.
This could result in serious neck and
internal injuries during a crash.
However, if the shoulder belt
touches or crosses the child’s neck,
or if the lap belt crosses the child’s
stomach, the child needs to use a
booster seat.
