If the answer to any of these questions was “no,” then the child still needs to use a
booster seat in this vehicle
.
If the child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check seat belt fit
periodically and make sure the seat belt buckle is latched
.
A child’s squirming or slouching
can move the belt out of position
.
If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move
the child closer to the center of the vehicle, or use a booster seat to position the seat
belt on the child correctly
.
WARNING!
Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back
.
In a
crash, the shoulder belt will not protect a child properly, which may result in serious
injury or death
.
A child must always wear both the lap and shoulder portions of the
seat belt correctly
.
