Since a safety belt or child
restraint system can become
very hot if it is left in a closed
vehicle, be sure to check the
seat cover and buckles before
placing a child there.
When the child restraint sys-
tem is not in use,store it in the
trunk or fasten it with asafety
belt so that it will not be
thrown forward in the case of
asuddenstop or an accident.
Children who are too large to
be in a child restraint should
sit in the rear seat and be
restrained with the available
lap/shoulder belts. Never
allow children to ride in the
front passengerseat.
• Always make sure that the
shoulder belt portion of the
lap/shoulder belt is positioned
midway over the shoulder,
never across the neck or
behind the back. The lap belt
portion of the lap/shoulder
belt must always be posi-
tioned as low as possible on
the child's hips and as snug
as possible.
• If theseat belt will not proper-
ly fit the child the use of an
approved booster seat in the
rear seat must be used in
order to raise the child'sseat-
ing heightso that theseat belt
will properly fit the child.
• Never allow a child tostand up
or kneel on theseat.

Never use an infant carrier or
child seat that "hooks" over a
seatback. It will not provide
adequate protection in an
accident.

•
Never allow a child to be held
while they are in a moving
vehicle, as this could result in
serious injury or death to the
child in the event of an acci-
dent or sudden stop. Holding
a child in a moving vehicle
does not provide the child
with any protection during an
accident, even if the person
holding the child is wearing a
seat belt.
