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 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 children

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.
