RESTRAINT OF PREGNANT
WOMEN
Pregnant women should wear lap/shoulder
belt assemblies whenever possible
according to specific recommendations by
their doctors. The lap portion of the belt
should be worn AS SNUGLY AND
LOW AS POSSIBLE.
RESTRAINT OF INFANTS
AND SMALL CHILDREN
Small children and infants should be
restrained by an approved child-restraint
system to help protect them while riding
in a vehicle.
Never allow a child to stand or kneel on
the seat of a moving vehicle. Never
allow a safety belt to be placed around
both a child and an adult or around two
children at the same time.
Children can be killed or injured by the
passenger air bag. The back seat is the
safest place for children 12 and under.
Many companies manufacture child
restraint systems (often called child
seats) for infants and small children. An
acceptable child restraint system must
always satisfy the Safety Standards of
your country. Make sure that any child-
restraint system you use in your vehicle
is labeled as complying with those safety
standards.
The child-restraint system should be
chosen to fit both the size of the child
and the size of the vehicle seat. Be sure
to follow any instructions provided by
the child-restraint system manufacturer
when installing the child-restraint
system.
WARNING - Pregnant
Women
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the
safety belt over the area of the
abdomen where the fetus is
located or above the abdomen.
WARNING - Children on
Laps
Never hold a child on your lap
or in your arms in a moving
vehicle.
Even a very strong person
cannot hold onto a child in the
event of even a minor collision.
