belt is positioned across the cen-
ter of child's shoulder. The belt
should be kept away from child's
neck, but not falling off child's
shoulder. Failure to do so could re-
duce the amount of protection in
an accident and increase the
chance of injury.

High-positioned lap belts and
loose-fitting belts both could in-
crease the chance of injury due to
sliding under the lap belt during an
accident. Keep the lap belt as low
on your hip bone as possible.

For the safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child's arm.

the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
