Protecting Children

Protecting Larger Children

When a child reaches the

recommended weight or height limit
for a forward-facing child seat, the
child should sit in one of the back

seats and wear a lap/shoulder belt.

If a child is too short for the shoulder
part of the belt to properly fit, we
recommend that the child use a
booster seat until the child is tall
enough to use the seat belt without a
booster.

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 the front seat.

Checking Seat Belt Fit

To determine if a lap/shoulder belt

properly fits a child, have the child
put on the seat belt. Follow the
instructions on page

16

. Then check

how the belt fits.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Allowing a larger child to sit

improperly in the front seat can
result in injury or death if the

airbags inflate.

If a larger child must sit in front,
make sure the child moves the

seat as far back as possible
and wears the seat belt properly.
