Using a child restraint system

For small children and babies, the use of
a child seat or infant seat is required. This
child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions.

(Continued)
• Never leave children unattended

in a vehicle – not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly,

resulting in serious

injuries to children inside. Even
very young children may inadver-
tently cause the vehicle to move,
entangle themselves in the win-
dows, or lock themselves or oth-
ers inside the vehicle.

• Never allow two children, or any

two persons, to use the same
seat belt.

• Children often squirm and repo-

sition themselves improperly.
Never let a child ride with the
shoulder belt under their arm or
behind their back. Always proper-
ly position and secure children in
the rear seat.

• Never allow a child to stand-up or

kneel on the seat or floor of a
moving vehicle. During a colli-
sion or sudden stop, the child
can be violently thrown against
the vehicle’s interior, resulting in
serious injury.

(Continued)
• Never use an infant carrier or a

child safety seat that "hooks"
over a seatback, it may not pro-
vide adequate security in an acci-
dent.

• Seat belts can become very hot,

especially when the car is parked
in direct sunlight. Always check
seat belt buckles before fasten-
ing them over a child.
