If you answered "yes" to this question, proceed to the next question. If you answered "no" to this question, the child should continue to use a booster seat. • Can the proper safety belt fit be maintained for the duration of the trip? If you answered "no" to this question, the child should continue to use a booster seat. If you answered "yes" to this question, 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 part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic bones. Otherwise, in a crash, the belt would apply force to the child’s abdomen. This could cause serious or even fatal injuries. CAUTION In a crash, a vehicle occupant who is not restrained properly could become airborne and strike and injure another person in the vehicle, or could be ejected from the vehicle. CAUTION A safety belt must be used by only one person at a time. Do not allow two children to share the same belt. See "Safety Belts" earlier in this section for additional safety belt instructions and safety information. . . . 216

A B A With this feature you will have anchors for the second row outboard bucket seats or the right and center passenger positions of the split bench seat. The anchors are located where the seatback meets the seat cushion. There are no lower anchors for the third row seat. To use the system, you need either a forward-facing child restraint that has attaching points at its base (and possibly a top strap), or a rear-facing child restraint that has attaching points at its base. CAUTION If a child restraint is not attached to its anchorage points, the restraint will not be able to protect a child sitting there. In a crash, the child could be seriously injured or killed. Make sure that the child restraint is properly installed using the anchorage points, or use the vehicle's safety belts to secure the restraint. Follow the instructions that come with the restraint. – – 217 . . .
