Child Restraints

Q: What is the proper way to wear

 

safety belts?

Older Children

A: An older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt

 

and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt

 

can provide. The shoulder belt should not

 

cross the face or neck. The lap belt should

 

fit snugly below the hips, just touching the top

 

of the thighs. It should never be worn over

 

the abdomen, which could cause severe

 

or even fatal internal injuries in a crash.

 

Accident statistics show that children are safer if

 

they are restrained in the rear seat.

 

In a crash, children who are not buckled up can

 

strike other people who are buckled up, or can be

 

thrown out of the vehicle. Older children need

 

to use safety belts properly.

Older children who have outgrown booster seats

 

should wear the vehicle’s safety belts.
