Honda Civic Owners Manual: Checking Seat Belt Fit
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the lap/ shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then answer the following questions.
Checklist
- Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge of the seat’
- Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s neck and arm’
- Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs’
- Will the child be able to stay seated like this for the whole trip’
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.
Booster Seats
If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
