SAFETY

Protecting Larger Children

When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in the rear seat using the

lap/shoulder seat belt.

Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:

• The child's knees bend comfortably over the edge

of the seat.

• The shoulder belt crosses between the child's

neck and arm.

• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,

touching the child's thighs.

• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.

If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat

in a rear seating position. For the child's safety, check that the child meets the

booster seat manufacturer's recommendations.

Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use a

booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 60 lbs). Be sure

to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to drive.

WARNING

Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or death

if the passenger's front airbag inflates.

If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as

possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly,

using a booster seat if needed.
