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 40 lb. [18 kg] or less) ride in your vehicle, you

must put them in safety seats made especially for children. Many states

require that children use approved booster seats until they are eight

years old. 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.

Child booster seats

Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh

40 lb. (18 kg) and are around 4 years of age. Although the lap/shoulder

belt will provide some protection, these children are still too small for

lap/shoulder belts to fit properly, which could increase the risk of serious

injury.
