An 8-year-old is taller than 4 feet 9 inches and can be properly secured by the available lap-and-shoulder belt. With no other special circumstances, what does Hawaii law allow?
Correct answer: Use of the properly adjusted lap-and-shoulder belt under the older-child exception
Why
The exception applies to children age 7 to under 10 who are over 4 feet 9 inches tall and properly restrained with a lap-and-shoulder belt. At exactly 4 feet 9 inches, the “over” condition has not been met. A restraint must fit correctly; do not place the shoulder belt behind the back or under an arm.
