Booster Seats
If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster seat
in a rear seating position. For the child's
safety, check that the child meets the booster
seat manufacturer's recommendations.
Protecting Larger Children - Final Checks
Your vehicle has a rear seat where children can be properly restrained. If you ever
have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front:
Make sure you read and fully understand the instructions and safety information •
in this manual.
Move the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
•
Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat. •
Check that the seat belt is properly positioned so that the child is secure in the •
seat.
Monitoring child passengers
We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on child passengers. Even older,
more mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts
and sit up properly.
Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat, make sure to read
the instructions that came with it, and install the
seat accordingly.
There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose
a booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat
belt correctly.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces, and
territories require children to use a booster seat
until they reach a given age or weight (e.g. 6 years
or 60 lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state
or province, or territory where you intend to drive.
