Protecting Children

If the shoulder part of the belt rests
over the child's collarbone and
against the center of the chest, as

shown, the child is large enough to

wear the seat belt.

However, if the belt touches or
crosses the child's neck, the child
needs to use a booster seat.

Do not let a child wear a seat belt
across the neck.
This could result in
serious neck injuries during a crash.

Do not let a child put the shoulder

part of a seat belt behind the back or

under the arm. This could cause

very serious injuries during a crash.
It also increases the chance that the
child will slide under the belt in a
crash and be injured.

Do not put any accessories on a seat

belt. Devices intended to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the
shoulder part of a seat belt, severely
compromise the protective capability
of the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.

Two children should never use the
same seat belt.
If they do, they could

be very seriously injured in a crash.

Using a Booster Seat

If a child needs a booster seat, we
recommend choosing a style that
allows the child to use the lap/
shoulder belt directly, without a
shield, as shown.

Whichever style you select, follow

the booster seat maker's instructions.
