To
make the belt shorter, pull its free end as shown until
the belt is snug.
Buckle, position and release it the same way as the lap
part
of
a lap-shoulder belt. If the belt isn’t long enough,
see “Safety Belt Extender” at the end
of
this section.
Make sure the release button on the buckle is positioned
so
you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly
if you ever had to.
Children
Everyone
in
a
vehicle needs protection! That includes
infants and all children smaller than adult
size.
In
fact,
the law in every state in the United States and in every
Canadian province says children
up
to some age must be
restrained while in a vehicle.
Smaller Children and Babies
Smaller children and babies should always be
restrained in
a
child
Qr
infant restraint. The
instructions for the restraint will say whether it
is the right type and size for your child.
A
very
young child’s hip bones are
so
small that
a
regular belt might not stay low on the hips,
as
it
should. Instead, the belt will likely be over the
child’s abdomen. In
a
crash, the belt would apply
force right on the child’s abdomen, which could
cause serious or fatal injuries.
So,
be sure that
any child small enough for one is always properly
restrained in
a
child or infant restraint.
