Checking Seat Belt Fit
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.
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 the seat
belt 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.
