Main Menu Table Of Contents Protecting Larger Children When a child reaches the recommended weight or height limit for a forward-facing child seat, the child should sit on a booster seat and wear a lap/shoulder belt. Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do not carry a larger child, age 12 or under, as a passenger. However, the following pages provide guidelines to help you decide when a given child may ride in this vehicle, and how to properly protect the child. Checking Seat Belt Fit Allowing a larger child age 12 or under to ride in the vehicle can result in injury or death if the passenger's airbag inflates. If a larger child must ride in the vehicle, adjust the vehicle seat as far back as possible, use a booster seat if needed, and have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly. To determine if a lap/shoulder belt properly fits a child, have the child put on the seat belt, then ask yourself: 1. Does the child sit all the way back against the seat? 2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably over the edge of the seat? CONTINUED Driver and Passenger Safety 2008 S2000 37
