Child Safety
Restraining a Child Who Weighs
Over 18 kg (40 lbs)
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 seat belt on your child and
check its fit. The shoulder belt
should fit over the collarbone 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.
Using a Seat Belt Locking Clip
Always use a seat belt locking clip
when you secure a child seat to your
car with a lap/shoulder belt. This
helps prevent the seat from shifting
position or overturning,
A locking clip is usually included
with the child seat. If you need a clip,
contact the seat's manufacturer or a
store that sells child restraints.
