Child Restraints

Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts?

Older Children

A: If possible, 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.
