bile accidents and sudden stops,
children must be properly restrained
using a seat belt or child restraint
system depending on the age and

your arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an acci-
dent, the child can be crushed

Child restraintÐ ÐChild restraint precautions

32A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with either the
lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt. You must carefully con-
sult the manufacturer's instructions
which accompany your child restraint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a
child re-
straint system following the manufactur-
er's instructions about the appropriate
age and size of the child for the child re-
straint system. Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer of the system.
Toyota recommends installing the child
restraint system on the rear seat if your
vehicle is equipped with rear seats. Ac-
cording to accident statistics, the child is
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
CAUTION!
After installing the child restraint system, make sure it is secured in
place following the manufacturer's
instructions. If it is not restrained
securely, it can cause injury to the
child in the event of a sudden stopor accident.
When not using the child restraint system, keep it secured with the seat belt. This will
prevent it from injuring passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types depending on the
child's age and size.
(A) Infant seat
(B) Convertible seat
(C) Booster seat
Install the child restraint system following the instructions provided by its manufac-
turer.
