SAFETY BELTS FOR CHILDREN
Child and infant or child safety
seats
Use a safety seat that is
recommended for the size and
weightof the child. Carefully follow
all of the manufacturer's
instructions with the safety seat
you putin your vehicle. If you do
not install and use the safety seat
properly, the child may be injured
in a sudden stop or collision.
When installing a child safety seat:
•
Review and follow the
information presented in the Air
Bag Supplemental Restraint
System section in this chapter.
•
Use the correct safety belt buckle
for that seating position.
•
Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a snap
and feel it latch. Make sure the
tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.
•
Keep the buckle release button
pointing up and away from the
safety seat, with the tongue
between the child seat and the
release button, to prevent
accidental unbuckling.
