Safety system of your vehicle
Big child
i Information
Children, who are under age 13 but
too big for a booster seat, must
always ride in the rear seat and use
the available lap/shoulder belts. A
seat belt should be fastened over the
upper thighs and be snug across the
shoulder and chest to safely restrain
the child. Often check belt fastening.
A child's squirming may move the
belt out of position. Children are best
protected in the event of an accident
when they are restrained by a proper
restraint system and in the rear seat.
Small children are best protected
from injury in an accident when
being properly restrained in the rear
seat by a child restraint system,
which meets the requirements of the
Federal
Motor
Vehicle
Safety
Standards.
Before
purchasing
any
child
restraint, make sure that it has a
label certifying that it meets Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
The restraint must be appropriate
for your child's height and weight.
When a big child over age 13 is seat-
ed in the front seat, the child must be
securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should
be placed in the rearmost position. If
the shoulder portion of the seat belt
slightly crosses over the child's neck
or face, have the child slightly moves
leftwards. When the shoulder portion
still touches the child's face or neck,
he or she needs to be returned to an
appropriate booster seat.
Check the label on the child
restraint for this information. Refer
to Child Restraint Systems in this
chapter.
