special belt.

Larger Children
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 lapshoulder 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.

A 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
;ed bv onlv one Derson at a time.
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?
\: 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
is still very close to the
child’s face or neck, you might want
to place the child in the center seat
position, the one that has only
a lap
belt.

A
Never do this.
Here a child is sitting in a
seat that has a lap-shoulder belt,
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 force
would then be applied right on the
child’s abdomen. That could cause
serious or fatal injuries. Wherever
the child sits, the lap portion
of the belt should be worn low and snug
on the hips, just touching the child’s
thighs. This applies belt force to the
child’s pelvic bones in
a crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten
around you, you should use it. The
automatic lap-shoulder belt has plenty
of extra length built in,
so it will fasten
around almost all people.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to
fasten, your dealer will order
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 be
just for you, and just
for the seat in your
vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use it, and use it only for
the seat it is made to fit.
To wear it, just
attach it to the regular safety belt.
