7. To tighten the

retractor while
you push down
on
the child restraint.

child restraint in
different
directions to be
sure
it is secure.

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 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.
61
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 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.
