Protecting Children

5. Push and pull the child seat

forward and from side to side to
verify that it is secure enough to

stay upright during normal driving
maneuvers. If the child seat is not
secure, unlatch the belt, allow it to
retract fully, then repeat these
steps.

To deactivate the locking

mechanism in order to remove a
child seat, unlatch the buckle,
unroute the seat belt, and let the belt

fully retract.

Additional Precautions for Small

Children

Never hold a small child on your
lap.
If you are not wearing a seat

belt in a crash, you could be
thrown forward into the
dashboard and crush the child.

If you are wearing a seat belt, the
child can be torn from your arms
during a crash. For example, if

your car crashes into a parked
vehicle at 30 mph (48 km/h), a

30-lb (14 kg) child will become a
900-lb (410 kg) force, and you will
not be able to hold on.

Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child.
During a crash, the

belt could press deep into the child
and cause very serious injuries.
