CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from child’s neck, but
not falling off child’s shoulder. Fail-
ure to do so could reduce the

loose−fitting belts could cause seri-
ous injuries due to sliding under
the lap belt during a collision or
other unintended result. Keep the
lap belt positioned as low on hips
as possible.

shoulder belt under child’s arm.

the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt is not twisted.

child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.
