Child Restraints
Older Children
Older children who have
outgrown booster seats
should wear the vehicle’s seat
belts. Refer to How to Wear
Seat Belts Properly063.
The manufacturer instructions
that come with the booster
seat state the weight and
height limitations for that
booster. Use a booster seat
with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the fit test
below:
.Sit all the way back on the
seat. Do the knees bend at
the seat edge? If yes,
continue. If no, return to the
booster seat.
.Buckle the lap-shoulder belt.
Does the shoulder belt rest
on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, try using the
rear seat belt comfort guide,
if available. See “Rear Seat
Belt Comfort Guides” under
Lap-Shoulder Belt 066. If a
comfort guide is not
available, or if the shoulder
belt still does not rest on the
shoulder, then return to the
booster seat.
.Does the lap belt fit low and
snug on the hips, touching
the thighs? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the
booster seat.
.Can proper seat belt fit be
maintained for the length of
the trip? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the
booster seat. Q: What is the proper way to
wear seat belts?
A: An older child should wear a
lap-shoulder belt and get
the additional restraint a
shoulder belt can provide.
The shoulder belt should
not cross the face or neck.
The lap belt should fit
snugly below the hips, just
touching the top of the
thighs. This applies belt
force to the child's pelvic
bones in a crash. It should
never be worn over the
abdomen, which could cause
severe or even fatal internal
injuries in a crash.
Also see “Rear Seat Belt
Comfort Guides” under
Lap-Shoulder Belt 066.
According to accident
statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in a
rear seating position.
In a crash, children who are
not buckled up can strike
other people who are buckled
up, or can be thrown out of
