Wherever the child sits, the lap portion
of
the belt should be
worn
low and
snug on the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force
to
the child’s pelvic bones
in
a
crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around you, you should use it.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order
you
an
extender. It’s free. When you
go
in
to
order
it,
take
the
heaviest coat you
will wear,
so
the extender will be long enough for you. The extender will be
just for
you,
and just for the seat
in
your vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use it, and use
it
only for the seat it
is
made
to
fit,
To
wear it,
just attach it
to
the regular safety belt.
