Child Safety
Restraining a Child Who
Weighs Over 18 kg (40 Ibs)
We recommend that, whenever
possible, a child who has outgrown
a toddler seat ride in one of the
outside positions of the rear seat
and use a lap/shoulder belt.
Put the lap/shoulder belt on your
child and check its fit. The shoul-
der belt should fit over the collar-
bone and across the chest. The lap
belt should sit low on your child's
hips, not across the stomach.
If the shoulder belt crosses the
neck, have your child move toward
the center of the rear seat until the
belt fits properly. If the belt still
crosses the child's neck, you should
use a booster seat.
Several styles of booster seats are
available. We recommend a design
that allows the child to use the car's
lap/shoulder belt.
Whichever style you select, follow
the booster seat manufacturer's
instructions.
Storing a Child Seat
When you are not using an infant
seat or other child restraint, either
remove it or make sure it is
properly secured so it cannot be
thrown around the car during a
crash.
