Children who have outgrown child restraints should
wear the vehicle’s safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a
window
so the child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear seat. But they need to use the
safety belts properly.
Children who aren’t buckled up can be thrown out in
a crash.
Children who aren’t buckled up can strike other
people who are.

@ What if a child is wearing a lap-shoulder belt,
but the child
is so small that the shoulder belt is
very close to the child's face or neck?
A: Move the child toward the center of the vehicle, but
be sure that
the shoulder belt still is on the child's
shoulder,
so that in a crash the child's upper body
would have
the restraint that belts provide. If the
child is
so small that the shoulder belt is still very
close to the child's face or neck, you might want to
place the child in the center seat position, the one
that has only a lap belt.
fl h CAUTION:
Ne rdbt
:. .
Here two children are wearing the same belt. I ne
belt can't properly spread the impact forces. In a
crash, the
two children can be crushed together
and seriously injured.

Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a
lap-shoulder belt, but the shoulder part
is Denim
the child. If the child wears the belt in this way, iI
a crash the child might slide under the belt. The
belt’s force would then be applied right on the
child’s abdomen. That could cause serious
or
fatal injuries.
I
Wherever the child sits, the lap portion of the belt
should be worn low and snug
on the hips, just touching
the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to the child’s
pelvic bones in a crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you
should use it. The automatic lap-shoulder belt has plenty
of extra length built in, so it will fasten around almost
all people.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your
dealer will order
you an extender. It’s free. When you go
in to order it, take the heaviest coat you will wear, so the
extender will be long enough for
you. The extender will
be just for you, and just for the seat
in your vehicle that
you choose. Don’t let someone else use it, and use it
only for the seat it is made to fit. To wear it, just attach it
to the regular safety belt.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly. Look for any loose parts or damage.
If
you see anything that might keep a restraint system
from doing its job, have
it repaired.
