SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN

See the following sections for directions on how to properly use safety

restraints for children. Also see Air bag supplemental restraint system

(SRS) in this chapter for special instructions about using air bags.

Important child restraint precautions

You are required by law to use safety restraints for children in the U.S.

and Canada. If small children (generally children who are four years old

or younger and who weigh 18 kg [40 lbs] or less) ride in your vehicle,

you must put them in safety seats made especially for children. Check

your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements

regarding the safety of children in your vehicle. When possible, always

place children under age 12 in the rear seat of your vehicle. Accident

statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seating positions than in the front seating position.

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the

vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from

injury in a collision.

Always follow the instructions and warnings that come with any infant or

child restraint you might use.

Children and safety belts

If the child is the proper size, restrain the child in a safety seat. Children

who are too large for child safety seats (as specified by your child safety

seat manufacturer) should always wear safety belts.

Follow all the important safety restraint and air bag precautions that

apply to adult passengers in your vehicle.

If the shoulder belt portion of a combination lap and shoulder belt can

be positioned so it does not cross or rest in front of the child’s face or

neck, the child should wear the lap and shoulder belt. Moving the child

closer to the center of the vehicle may help provide a good shoulder belt

fit.

Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or pets unattended in

your vehicle.
