details and additional important information.
CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR INFANTS AND SMALL CHILDREN
Infants and small children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint
while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint can result in serious injury or
death.
Children and infants should never be carried
on your lap. It is not possible for even the
strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe
collision. The child could be crushed between
the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do
not put the same seat belt around both your
child and yourself, or another child.
Always install the child restraint properly, and
check that it is securely held in place by the
vehicle’s seat belt or LATCH system (if so
equipped). An improperly installed child
restraint could lead to serious injury or death in a collision. See the vehicle owner’s
manual and your child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for complete details.
Several manufacturers offer child restraints specially designed for infants and small
children. When selecting any child restraint, keep the following points in mind:
1. The LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) is a universal child
restraint system. This system – which may also be referred to as the ISOFIX or
ISOFIX compatible system – allows the child restraint to be installed into the
vehicle without the use of seat belts. Both the vehicle and child restraint must
have LATCH system capabilities.
2. Choose only a restraint with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
3. Always make sure the child restraint is appropriate for the age and size of your
infant or small child. Remember that as your child grows you will need to
replace the child restraint.
4. Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the
vehicle’s seat and seat belt system.
