The following pages give
instructions on how to check proper
seat belt fit, what kind of booster
seat to use if one is needed, and
important precautions for a child
who must sit in front.

To determine if a lap/shoulder
belt properly fits a child, have the
child put on the seat belt,
then ask yourself:

Does the child sit all the way back
against the seat?

Do the child’s knees bend
comfortably over the edge of
the seat?

When a child reaches the
recommended weight or height limit
for a forward-facing child seat, the
child should sit in a back seat on a
booster seat and wear the lap/
shoulder belt.

Checking Seat Belt Fit

Allowing a child age 12 or under
to sit in front can result in injury
or death if the passenger’s front
airbag inflates.

If a child must ride in front,
move the vehicle seat as far
back as possible, use a booster
seat if needed, have the child
sit up properly and wear the
seat belt properly.
