Child Safety

If a toddler seat is used in the front
passenger's seat, the vehicle seat should be moved as far back as
possible. If the passenger's bag
inflates, it could seriously hurt a
toddler who is not in the proper position or properly restrained.
We also recommend that any child
who is too large to use an infant or toddler seat ride in the second orthird seat and wear a lap/shoulder
belt properly for protection. If the child is not large enough to wear the
lap/shoulder belt properly, you should use a booster seat. Important Safety Reminders

Never hold a baby or child on your
lap when riding in a car. If you are
wearing your seat belt, the violent
forces created during a crash will
tear the child from your arms. The child could be seriously hurt or killed.
If you are holding a child and not
wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could crush the child against the car's
interior.
Never put your seat belt over

yourself and a child. During a crash,
the belt could press deep into the
child, causing serious internal

injuries.
Two children should never use the
same seat belt. If they do, they could
be very seriously injured in a crash.
If you are driving with small children
in the car, you should use the
childproof door locks to prevent
them from opening the rear doors (see page 54).
For their safety, do not leave
children alone in your car without
adult supervision.
