som e
rearw ard -facing infant restraints will also be equ ipped
with a tether strap , a hook and means for adjusting the
tension in the strap .
Child ren Too Large For Booster Seats
In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower
strap s and tether strap s so that you can more easily attach
the hook or connector to the lower anchorages and tether
anchorages. Then tighten all three strap s as you push the
child restraint rearw ard and downw ard into the seat.
Child ren who are large enou gh to wear the shou lder belt
comfortably, and whose legs are long enou gh to bend
over the front of the seat when their back is against the
seatback, shou ld use the lap/ shou lder belt in a rear seat.

Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.
Not all child restraint system s will be installed as we
have described here. Again, carefu lly follow the instru c-
tions that come with the child restraint system .
The lap portion shou ld be low on the hip s and as snu g
as possible.
