Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who have outgrown their rear-facing convertible child seat can
ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the
forward-facing direction are for children who are over two years old or who have outgrown the
rear-facing weight or height limit of their rear-facing convertible child seat. Children should remain
in a forward-facing child seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or
height allowed by the child seat.
All children whose weight or height is above the forward-facing limit for the child seat should use
a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly. If the child cannot sit with
knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they
should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and belt-positioning booster seat are held in
the vehicle by the seat belt.
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 attachments. 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 LATCH
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.
Children Too Large For Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are long
enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the
seat belt in a rear seat. Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the child can use the vehicle’s
seat belt alone:
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 they are still
sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child’s shoulder between their neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs and not their stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
