Group 3
Fig. D
Children who weigh between 22 kg and 36 kg and
who are tall enough to use the adult shoulder belt
may use a Group 3 child restraint. Group 3 child
restraints position the lap belt on the child's pelvis.
The child must be tall enough that the shoulder
belt crosses the child's chest and not their neck.
Fig. D shows an example of a Group 3 child
restraint system correctly positioning the child on
the rear seat.
WARNING!
Improper installation can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a
collision. The child could be badly injured or
killed. Follow the child restraint manufacturer's
directions exactly when installing an infant or
child restraint.
After a child restraint is installed in the vehicle,
do not move the vehicle seat forward or rear-
ward because it can loosen the child restraint
attachments. Remove the child restraint before
adjusting the vehicle seat position. When the
vehicle seat has been adjusted, reinstall the
child restraint.
When your child restraint is not in use, secure it
in the vehicle with the seat belt or ISOFIX
anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do
not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden
stop or accident, it could strike the occupants or
seatbacks and cause serious personal injury.
SAFETY
Seat Belts For Older Children
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
instead of using child restraints.
Use this simple 5-step test to decide whether the
seat belt properly fits the child or if they should still
use a Group 2 or Group 3 child restraint to improve
the fit of the seat belt:
1. Can the child sit all the way back against the
back of the vehicle seat?
2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably over
the front of the vehicle seat while the child is
still sitting all the way back?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross the child's
shoulder between the neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible,
touching the child's thighs and not the stomach?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole
trip?
