You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the\
top strap
if the child restraint has one.
1. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the\
child
restraint.
2. Secure the child in the child restraint as the instructions sa\
y.
3. Pull out the vehicle’s safety belt and run the lap part through \
or around
the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. See if
the shoulder belt would go in front of the child’s face or neck.
If so, put
it behind the child restraint.
4. Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button faces upward or outward,
so you’ll be able to unbuckle it quickly if you ever need to.

7. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is
secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's safety belt and let it
go back all the way.
The safety belt will move freely again and be ready
to work for an adult or
larger child passenger.

Larger Children
- AM1 70007
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.

CAUTION
Never do this.
Here two children are wearing the same belt. The belt can’t properly
spread the impact forces. In a crash, the
two children can be
crushed together and seriously injured.
A belt must be used by only
one person at a time.
I
Q: 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 still is very close to the child’s
face or neck, you might want to place the child in a seat that has a lap belt,
if your vehicle has one.
