The First Years B540 - Manual (Page 19)

Section 8 - Safety Checklist/Safe Practices
*
EVERYONE rides buckled up or the vehicle DOES
NOT GO! Make NO EXCEPTIONS for adults or children!
- If someone unbuckles, the vehicle STOPS! Being
firm and consistent will result in fewer discipline
problems as children grow older. An unrestrained
person can be thrown into and injure other
passengers.
- NEVER try to tend to a crying child’s needs while
driving. Never take a child out of a child restraint for
comforting while the vehicle is moving.
*
DO NOT allow child to slide down under lap belt or put
shoulder belt under arm or behind back.
*
DO NOT allow a child to have lollipops, popsicles, or
other food on a stick. The item can injure the child in a
sudden stop or crash.
*
Put heavy or sharp items in the trunk. Loose items can
be deadly in a crash.
*
If you need to use a blanket in cold weather, put the
child in the restraint and cover both with the blanket.
