Checking Seat Belt Fit; Using A Booster Seat - Acura 2006 MDX Owner's Manual

Checking Seat Belt Fit

To determine if a lap/shoulder belt
properly fits a child, have the child
put on the seat belt, then ask
yourself:
1. Does the child sit all the way back
against the seat?
2. Do the child's knees bend
comfortably over the edge of the
seat?
3. Does the shoulder belt cross
between the child's neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child's
thighs?
Will the child be able to stay
5.
seated like this for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these
questions, the child is ready to wear
the lap/shoulder belt correctly. If
you answer no to any question, the
child needs to ride on a booster seat.
Protecting Larger Children

Using a Booster Seat

A child who has outgrown a forward-
facing child seat should ride in a
back seat and use a booster seat
until the lap/shoulder belt fits them
properly without the booster.
