AM170057
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.

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.
AM170064
CAUTION I
Never do this.
A Here a child is sitting in a seat that has a lap-shoulder be\
lt, but the
~ shoulder part is behind the child. If the child wears the belt in this
way, in
a crash the child might slide under the belt. The belt’s forc\
e
would then be applied right on the child’s abdomen. That co\
uld
cause serious
or fatal injuries.
Wherever the child sits, the lap pottion
of the belt should be worn low and
snug
on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies bel\
t force to
the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicie’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should\
use it. But if a
safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will o\
rder
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 b\
e just for you,
