Protecting Children Then pull hard on the loose end of the belt to remove the any slack (it may help to put weight on the child seat while pulling on the belt). Finally, follow instruction number 5 on page 40 to verify that the child seat is secured. Protecting Larger Children When a child reaches the recommended weight or height limit for a forward-facing child seat, the child should sit in the back seat and wear a lap/shoulder belt. If a child is too short for the shoulder part of the belt to properly fit, we recommend that the child use a booster seat until the child is tall enough to use the seat belt without a booster. The following pages give instructions on how to check proper seat belt fit, what kind of booster seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for a child who must sit in the front seat. Allowing a larger child to sit improperly in the front seat can result in injury or death if the airbags inflate. If a larger child must sit in front, make sure the child moves the seat as far back as possible and wears the seat belt properly. CONTINUED Driver and Passenger Safety
