If the answer to any of these questions was “no,” then the

child still needs to use a booster seat in this vehicle. If the

child is using the lap/shoulder belt, check belt fit peri-

odically and make sure the seat belt buckle is latched. A

child’s squirming or slouching can move the seat belt out

of position. If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck,

move the child closer to the center of the vehicle, or use

a booster seat to position the seat belt on the child

correctly.

WARNING!

Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an
arm or behind their back. In a crash, the shoulder belt
will not protect a child properly, which may result in
serious injury or death. A child must always wear
both the lap and shoulder portions of the seat belt
correctly.

Installing Child Restraints in Commercial Vehicles
This commercial vehicle is not designed for use as a

family vehicle and is not intended for carrying children

in the front passenger seat(s). Never install rearward-

facing child restraints in this vehicle. Although the seat

belt can be locked to secure a child restraint, there are no

tether anchorages to complete the proper installation of a

forward-facing child restraint. If you must carry a child

in a forward-facing child restraint, the passenger seat

should be moved to the full rearward position and the

child must be in a proper restraint system based on its

age, size and weight. Follow the instructions below to

secure the child restraint using the seat belt.
