B230A03A-GAT CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (If Installed) Children riding in the car should sit in the rear seat and must always be properly restrained to minimize therisk of injury in an accident, sudden stop or sudden maneuver.

Before buying a particular child restraint system, make sure it fits your car and seat belts, and fits your child.Follow all the instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing the child restraint system.
