larger Children (CONK)

Never do this.
- Here a child is sitting in a seat
that has a lap-shoulder belt, but the
shoulder part is behind the child.
If the child wears the belt in this
way, in a crash the child might
slide under the belt. The belt’s
force would then be applied right
on the child’s abdomen. That could
cause serious or fatal iniuries.
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. The
automatic lap-shoulder belt has plenty
of
extra length built in, so it will fasten
around almost all people.
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.
Checking Your Restraint Systems
Now and then, make sure all your belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and reminder systems are
working properly.
Look for any loose
parts or damage. If you see anything that
might keep a restraint system from
doing its
job, have it repaired.
