. Infants andsmall children shouldneverbe
carried onyour lap.Itis not possible foreven
the strongest adulttoresist theforces ofa
severe accident. Thechild could becrushed
between theadult andparts ofthe vehicle.
Also, donot putthesame seatbeltaround
both yourchild andyourself.
. NISSAN recommends thatthechild re-
straints beinstalled inthe rear seat. Accord-
ing toaccident statistics,children aresafer
when properly restrained inthe rear seat
than inthe front seat.
. Improper useorimproper installation ofa
child restraint canincrease therisk or
severity ofinjury forboth thechild andother
occupants ofthe vehicle andcanlead to serious
injuryordeath inan accident.
. Follow allofthe child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions forinstallation anduse.
When purchasing achild restraint, besure to
select onewhich willfityour child and
vehicle. Itmay notbepossible toproperly
install sometypesofchild restraint inyour
vehicle.
. The direction ofthe child restraint, either
front-facing orrear-facing, dependsonthe
type ofthe child restraint andthesize ofthe
child. Refer tothe child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions fordetails.
. Adjustable seatbacksshouldbepositioned
to fit the child restraint, butasupright as
possible.
. After attaching achild restraint, testit
before youplace thechild init.Push itfrom
side toside andtugitforward tomake sure
that itis held securely inplace. Thechild

being thrown around incase ofasudden
stop oraccident.
. Never install arear-facing childrestraint on
the front passenger's seatwhen thefront
passenger's airbag isavailable. Supple-
mental front-impact airbags inflate with
great force. Arear-facing childrestraint
could bestruck bythe supplemental front-
impact airbags inan accident andcould
seriously injureorkill your child. .
Ifthe seat beltinthe position whereachild
restraint isinstalled requiresalocking
