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.

If you are not wearing a seat

belt in a crash, you could be

thrown forward into the

dashboard and crush the child.

During a crash, the

belt could press deep into the child

and cause very serious injuries.

Ifyouarewearingaseatbelt,the

child can be torn from your arms

during a crash. For example, if

your vehicle crashes into a parked

vehicleat30mph(48km/h),a

30-lb (14 kg) child will become a

900-lb (410 kg) force, and you will

not be able to hold on.

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.

Protecting Larger Children

Additional Precautions for Small

Children

Never hold a small child on your

lap.

Never put a seat belt over yourself

and a child.

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.
