serious neck injuries during a crash.

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.

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.

To determine if a lap/shoulder belt
properly fits a child, have the child
put on the seat belt. Follow the
instructions on page

. Then check

how the belt fits.

Devices intended to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the
shoulder part of a seat belt, severely
compromise the protective capability
of the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.

If they do, they could

be very seriously injured in a crash.
