Securing the Child Within the
Child Restraint

There are several systems for securing the
child within the child restraint. One system, the
three-point harness, has straps that come
down over each of the infant’s shoulders and
buckle together at the crotch. The five-point
harness system has two shoulder straps, two hip
straps, and a crotch strap. A shield may take
the place of hip straps. A T-shaped shield
has shoulder straps that are attached to a flat
pad which rests low against the child’s body.
A shelf- or armrest-type shield has straps that
are attached to a wide, shelf-like shield that
swings up or to the side.

CAUTION:

A child can be seriously injured or killed
in a crash if the child is not properly
secured in the child restraint. Make sure
the child is properly secured, following
the instructions that came with that
restraint.

Because there are different systems, it is important
to refer to the instructions that come with the
restraint. A child can be endangered in a crash if
the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint.
