Installing child safety seats with combination lap and shoulder
belts

The rear seat head restraints must be removed when using a child
seat.

Air bags can kill or injure a child in a child seat. NEVER place a
rear-facing child seat in front of an active air bag. If you must

use a forward-facing child seat in the front seat, move the seat all the
way back.

1. Position the child safety seat in a
seat with a combination lap and
shoulder belt.

Children 12 and under should be properly restrained in the rear
seat whenever possible.

2. Pull down on the shoulder belt
and then grasp the shoulder belt
and lap belt together.
