Children of all ages are safer when restrained in the rear seat.
A child riding in the front passen-
ger seat can be forcefully struck

Always follow the instructions for installation and use of the child
restraint manufacturer.
Always make sure the child seat is secured properly in the car and
your child is securely restrained
in the child seat.
Never hold a child in your arms or lap when riding in a vehicle. The
violent forces created during a
crash will tear the child from your
arms and throw the child against
the car’s interior.
Never put a seat belt over your- self and a child. During a crash,the belt could press deep into the
child causing serious internalinjuries.
(Continued)(Continued)
Unrestrained children should notbe carried in the car. Holding a
child in your arms is not a satis-
factory substitute for a child
restraint system. A child held inthis manner can be crushed
between your body and the interi-
or of the car.
Children may be seriously injured or killed by an inflating air bag.
All children, even those too large
for child restraints, must ride inthe rear seat.

restraints, use only approved
devices and refer to "ChildRestraint System" to ensure cor-rect installation and occupant
protection is maximised.(Continued)
Never leave children unattendedin a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious
injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver-
tently cause the vehicle to move,entangle themselves in the win-
dows, or lock themselves or oth-
ers inside the vehicle.
Never allow two children, or any two persons, to use the sameseat belt.
Children often squirm and repo- sition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with theshoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always prop-
erly position and secure childrenin rear seat.
Never allow a child to stand-up or kneel on the seat or floorboard of
a moving vehicle. During a colli-
sion or a sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicles interior, resulting in
