Seating and safety restraints belt-positioning booster should be used if the shoulder belt rests in front of the child's face or neck, or if the lap belt does not fit snugly on both thighs, or if the thighs are too short to let the child sit all the way back on the seat cushion when the lower legs hang over the edge of the seat cushion. You may wish to dicuss the specific needs of your child with your pediatrician. CHILDREN AND INFANT OR CHILD SAFETY SEATS Carefully follow all of the manufacturer's instructions included with the safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision. When installing a child safety seat: • use the correct safety belt buckle for that seating position. • make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. • keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button, to prevent accidental unbuckling. • place seatbacks in the upright position. 67
