Protecting
Children
However, if the belt touches or
crosses the child's neck,
the
child
needs to use a booster seat.
Do
not
let
a
child
wear a
seat
belt
across
the
neck.
This could result
in
serious neck injuries during a crash.
Do
not
let
a
child
put
the
shoulder
part
of
a
seat
belt
behind
the
back
or
under
the
arm. This could cause
very serious injuries during a crash.
It
also increases the chance that
the
child
will
slide under the belt
in
a
crash and be injured.
30
Driver
and
Passenger
Safety
Do
not
put
any
accessories on a
seat
belt. Devices intended to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the
shoulder part of a seat belt, severely
compromise the protective capability
of the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury
in
a crash.
Two children
should
never
use
the
same
seat
belt.
If
they do, they could
be very seriously injured
in
a crash.
Using a
Booster
Seat
If a child needs a booster seat, we
recommend choosing a style that
allows the child to use the
lap/
shoulder belt directly, without a
shield, as shown.
Whichever style you select, follow
the booster seat maker's instructions.
