Small children are best prot ected from
injury in an accident w hen prop erly

Restraint System t hat meets t he
requirements o f t he Safety Standards
of your country. Before buying any Child
Restraint System, make sur e t hat it has

Standard o f your country. The r estraint
must be appropriate for your child's
height and w eight. Check t he label o n
the Child Restraint System for t his
information. Refer to “ Child Restraint
Systems” in t his chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are
too large for a booster seat must
always occupy the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should lie across the upper
thighs and be snug across the shoul-
der and chest to restrain the child
safely. Check belt fit periodically. A
child's squirming could put the belt
out of position. Children are afforded
the most safety in the event of an
accident when they are restrained by
a proper restraint system and/or seat
belts in the rear seat.
If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child
must be securely restrained by the
available lap/shoulder belt and the
seat should be placed in the rear-
most position.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck, they need
to be returned to an appropriate
booster seat in the rear seat.
ALWAYS properly restrain infants
and small children in a Child Restraint
System appropriate for the child’s
height and weight.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to a child and other passen-
gers, NEVER hold a child in your lap
or arms when the vehicle is moving.
The violent forces created during an
accident will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against the
interior of the vehicle.
WARNING
•
Always make sure larger chil-
dren’s seat belts are worn and
properly adjusted.
•
NEVER allow the shoulder belt
to contact the child’s neck or
face.
•
Do not allow more than one
child to use a single seat belt.
