Seat Belt Syndrome
3. Does the belt cross the shoulder between the neck and arm?
5. Can the child stay seated like this for the entire trip?
If you answer “no” to any of these questions, the child needs a booster
seat to make both the shoulder and lap belt fit right for the best crash
protection.
Hands-On Exercise 2
Using the information known about “your child”:
