Wherever the child
sits,
the lap portion of the belt should be worn low and
snug
on
the hips, just touching the child’s thighs. This applies belt force to
the child’s pelvic bones in a crash.
Safety Belt Extender
If the vehicle’s safety belt will fasten around
you,
you should
use
it.
But if a safety belt isn’t long enough to fasten, your dealer will order
you
an
extender. It’s free. When
you
go in
to
order it, take the heaviest coat
you
will wear,
so
the extender will be long enough for you. The extender will be
just for
you,
and just for
the
seat in
your
vehicle that you choose. Don’t let
someone else use it, and
use
it
only for the seat
it
is made to fit.
To
wear it,
just attach it to the regular safety belt.
