When a child reaches the

recommended weight or height limit

for a forward-facing child seat, the

child should sit in a back seat on a

booster seat and wear a lap/shoulder

belt.

The following pages give

instructions on how to check proper

seat belt fit, what kind of booster

seat to use if one is needed, and

important precautions for a child

who must sit in front.

To determine if a lap/shoulder belt

properly fits a child, have the child

put on the seat belt, then ask

yourself:

Does the child sit all the way back

against the seat?

Do the child’s knees bend

comfortably over the edge of the

seat?

Checking Seat Belt Fit

Allowing a child age 12 or under
to sit in front can result in injury
or death if the passenger’s front
airbag inflates.

If a child must ride in front,
move the vehicle seat as far
back as possible, use a booster
seat if needed, have the child
sit up properly and wear the
seat belt properly.
