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 the back seat 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

15

. Then check

how the belt fits.

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.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Allowing a larger child to sit

improperly in the front seat can

result in injury or death if the

passenger's front airbag inflates.

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.
