Child Safety The preferred place to put a toddler seat is in the center position of the rear seat. Use the car's lap belt to secure the seat to the car. If you decide to put a toddler seat in an outside position of the rear seat, you must use a locking clip on the car's lap/shoulder belt (see page 22). Restraining a Child Who Weighs Over 40 Ibs. (18 kg) Put the lap/shoulder belt on your child and check its fit. The shoulder belt should fit over the collarbone and across the chest. The lap belt should sit low on your child's hips, not across the stomach. If the shoulder belt crosses the neck, have your child move toward the center of the rear seat until the belt fits properly. If the belt still crosses the child's neck, you should use a booster seat. We recommend that, whenever possible, a child who has outgrown a toddler seat ride in one of the outside positions of the rear seat and use a lap/shoulder belt. Several styles of booster seats are available. We recommend a design that allows the child to use the car's lap/shoulder belt. Whichever style you select, follow the booster seat manufacturer's instructions. Driver and Passenger Safety
