CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR INFANTS AND SMALL CHILDREN
Infants and small children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint while
riding in the vehicle. Failure to properly use a child restraint can result in serious injury or
death.
Children and infants should never be carried on
your lap. It is not possible for even the strongest
adult to resist the forces of a severe collision. The
child could be crushed between the adult and parts
of the vehicle. Also, never put the same seat belt
around both your child and yourself, or another
child.
Always install a child restraint properly, and check that it is securely held in place by the
vehicle’s seat belt or LATCH system (if so equipped). An improperly installed child restraint
could lead to serious injury or death in a collision. See the vehicle owner’s manual and your
child restraint manufacturer’s instructions for complete details.
Child restraints specially designed for infants and small children are offered by several
manufacturers. When selecting any child restraint, keep the following points in mind:
1. The LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) is a universal child
restraint system. This system – which also may be referred to as the ISOFIX or ISOFIX
compatible system – allows the child restraint to be installed into the vehicle without
the use of seat belts. Both the vehicle and child restraint must have LATCH system
capabilities.
2. Choose only a restraint with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
3. Always make sure the child restraint is appropriate for the age and size of your infant or
small child.
