Seating and safety restraints

Children and safety belts

Children who are too large for child
safety seats (as specified by the
child safety seat manufacturer)
should always wear safety belts.

Follow all the important safety
restraints and air bag precautions
that apply to adult passengers in
your vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion of a
combination lap and shoulder belt
can be positioned so it does not
cross or rest in front of the child’s
face or neck, the child should wear
the lap and shoulder belt. Moving
the child closer to the center of the
vehicle may help provide a good
shoulder belt fit.

If the shoulder belt cannot be
properly positioned:

• move the child to one of the
seats with a lap belt only (if
equipped),

OR

• if the child is the appropriate
size, restrain the child in a safety
seat.
