Important child restraint precautions

You are required by law to use safety restraints for

children in the U.S. and Canada. If small children

(generally children who are four years old or

younger and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs] or less) ride

in your vehicle, you must put them in safety seats

made especially for children. Many states require

that children use approved booster seats until they

are eight years old. Check your local and state or

provincial laws for specific requirements regarding

the safety of children in your vehicle. When possible,

always place children under age 12 in the rear seat

of your vehicle. Accident statistics suggest that

children are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seating positions than in the front seating

position.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or

her lap while the vehicle is moving. The

passenger cannot protect the child from injury in a

collision.

Always follow the instructions and warnings that

come with any infant or child restraint you might

use.

Children and safety belts

If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a

safety seat. Children who are too large for child

safety seats (as specified by your child safety seat

manufacturer) should always wear safety belts.

Follow all the important safety restraint and air bag

precautions that apply to adult passengers in your

vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and

shoulder belt can be positioned so it does not cross

or rest in front of the child’s face or neck, the child
