Protecting Children

5. After confirming that the belt is

locked, grab the shoulder part of
the belt near the buckle and pull
up to remove any slack from the
lap part of the belt. Remember, if
the lap part of the belt is not tight,
the child seat will not be secure. It
may help to put weight on the
child seat, or push on the back of
the seat, while pulling up on the

belt.

6. Push and pull the child seat

forward and from side to side to
verify that it is secure enough to

stay upright during normal driving

maneuvers. If the child seat is not
secure, unlatch the belt, allow it to
retract fully, then repeat these
steps.

To deactivate the locking

mechanism in order to remove a
child seat, unlatch the buckle,
unroute the seat belt, and let the belt
fully retract.

Additional Precautions for Small

Children

Never hold a small child on your
lap.
If you are not wearing a seat

belt in a crash, you could be
thrown forward into the
dashboard and crush the child.

If you are wearing a seat belt, the
child can be torn from your arms
during a crash. For example, if
your car crashes into a parked

vehicle at 30 mph (48 k m / h ) , a

30-lb (14 kg) child will become a
900-lb (410 kg) force, and you will
not be able to hold on.

Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child.
During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
and cause very serious injuries.
