Rear seat :
child properly
restrained in a booster
seat
Booster seats raise these children up so that the safety belt
will pass properly over the stronger parts of their bodies and
the safety belt can help protect them in a crash .
- Do not use the convertible locking retractor when using
the vehicle's safety belt to restrain a child on a booster
seat.
- Always position the shoulder portion of the safety belt
midway over the child's shoulder .
- Always make sure that the shoulder portion of the safety
belt never rests against or across the child's neck.
- Always make sure that the child can properly wear the lap
portion of the belt low across the thighs or pelvis and
never
over the stomach or abdomen.
It is usually best to put these children in appropriate booster seats .
Be sure the booster seat meets all applicable safety standards .
