WARNING
. Never use a belt that is twisted or reversed. In an accident, this can increase the risk or severity of injury to the child.
. Never place the shoulder belt under the child’ s arm or behind the child’ s back. If an accident occurs, this can increase the risk or severity of injury to the child.
. The seatbelt should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint. Loose fitting belts are not as effective in preventing or reducing injury.
. Place the lap belt as low as possible on the child’ s hips. A highpositioned lap belt will increase the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen, and both can result in serious injury or death.
. Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of child’ s shoulder. Placing the shoulder belt over the neck may result in neck injury during sudden braking or in a collision.
