CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
Category 2 (15 to 25 kg) (33 to
55 lbs)
The type of restraint most suitable
for the pelvis of a child aged
between 4 and 7 is one that can be
combined with a three-point seat
belt. This is a booster seat (figure 3)
with belt guides to ensure that the
belt will be worn flat over the thighs
of the child.
A
booster
seat
with
a
height-adjustable seatback and a
belt guide is recommended as this
will allow the belt to be worn as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it. A bucket-type
seat (figure 4) must be used for
vehicles where the rear centre seat
is equipped with a two-point belt.
Category 3
For children aged over 7, a booster
seat
with
belt
guides
is
recommended to ensure that the
vehicle's three-point seat belt will
be worn flat over the child’s thighs.
A
booster
seat
with
a
height-adjustable seatback and a
belt guide is recommended as this
will allow the belt to be worn as
close to the base of the neck as
possible but not on it.
If a booster seat without a seatback
is used (figure 3), the vehicle’s head
restraint will have to be adjusted to
suit the child’s stature; the upper
edge of the head restraint must be at
the same height as the top of the
child’s head and should never be
lower than in line with the child’s
eyes.
