If the shoulder belt portion of one of the lap and shoulder belts
can be positioned so that it does not cross or rest in front of the
child’s face or neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder
belt. Moving the child closer to the center of the vehicle may
help provide a good shoulder belt fit.
*
[SS27900(ALL)01/96]
Lap belts and the lap belt portion of lap and shoulder belts
should always be worn snugly and below the hips, touching the
child’s thighs.

When installing a child safety seat, be sure to use the correct
safety belt buckle for that seating position, and make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the buckle. For a shoulder/lap
belt combination with a sliding tongue, make sure the retractor
is in the automatic locking mode.

In rear-facing infant seats, the infant’s head is closer to the
passenger air bag. The force of the rapidly inflating air bag
could push the top of the rear-facing seat against the vehicle
seatback. REAR-FACING INFANT SEATS MUST ALWAYS BE
SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT, and other child seats and
