Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has
been closed up in sunny weather, and could burn a small
child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
Children who are too large for child safety seats should
always wear safety belts.
If
the shoulder belt cannot be properly positioned so that it
does not cross or rest in front
of
the child's face or neck,
move the child
to
one
of
the seats with a lap belt only and
use the lap belt.
Lap belts and the lap portion
of
lap and shoulder belts should
always be worn snugly and below the hips, touching the
child's thighs.
Children should always ride with the seatback in the fully
upright position. When the seatback is not fully upright,
there is a greater risk that the child will slide under the safety
belt and be seriously injured in a collision.
Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and
weight
of
the child. Seat backs should be upright for use
with child safety seats.
