Protecting Children

If the shoulder part of the belt rests

over the child's collarbone and

against the center of the chest, as

shown, the child is large enough to

wear the seat belt.

However, if the belt touches or

crosses the child's neck, the child

needs to use a booster seat.

Do not let a child wear a seat belt
across the neck.

This could result in

serious neck injuries during a crash.

Do not let a child put the shoulder

part of a seat belt behind the back or

under the arm.

This could cause

very serious injuries during a crash.

It also increases the chance that the

child will slide under the belt in a

crash and be injured.

Do not put any accessories on a seat

belt.

Devices intended to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the

shoulder part of a seat belt, severely

compromise the protective capability

of seat belts and increase the chance

of serious injury in a crash.

Two children should never use the
same seat belt.

If they do, they could

be very seriously injured in a crash.
