SAFETY 265
Group 3
Fig. D
Children who weigh between 22 kg and 36 kg and who
are tall enough to use the adult shoulder belt may use a
Group 3 child restraint. Group 3 child restraints position
the lap belt on the child’s pelvis. The child must be tall
enough that the shoulder belt crosses the child’s chest
and not their neck.
Fig. D shows an example of a Group 3 child restraint
system correctly positioning the child on the rear seat.
Seat Belts For Older Children
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts instead
of using child restraints.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the seat belt
properly fits the child or if they should still use a Group 2
or Group 3 child restraint to improve the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the back of
the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the front
of the vehicle seat while the child is still sitting all the
way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s shoulder
between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching
the child’s thighs and not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
WARNING!

Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant
or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision.
The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the
child restraint manufacturer’s directions exactly
when installing an infant or child restraint.

After a child restraint is installed in the vehicle, do
not move the vehicle seat forward or rearward
because it can loosen the child restraint attach -
ments. Remove the child restraint before adjusting
the vehicle seat position. When the vehicle seat has
been adjusted, reinstall the child restraint.
 When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the
vehicle with the seat belt or ISOFIX anchorages, or
remove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in
the vehicle. In a sudden stop or accident, it could
strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious
personal injury.
