CHILDREN AND BABIES
Infants and children too small for adult seat
belts should be restrained in a child safety seat
or restraint system appropriate to their age
and/or size.
In a situation where a child is too large to fit into
a child safety seat, but is still too small to safely
fit the 3 point seat belt properly, a booster seat
is recommended for maximum safety. Follow
the manufacturer’s fitting instructions exactly,
then adjust the seat belt to suit.
Child seats and restraint systems designed for
your vehicle will be one of two types:
•
Those secured in vehicle seats by the seat
belts
WARNING
‘LATCH’ type child restraints employing
anchor bars built into the rear seat frame.
•
•
DO NOT allow a baby or infant to be carried
on the lap. The force of a crash can
increase effective body weight by as much
as 30 times, making it impossible to hold
on to the child.
•
All new and most older type child restraint
systems incorporate a tether strap which can
be attached to an anchorage point on the
vehicle. Information about tether strap
attachment points and the seat belt locking
mechanism, which is used to restrain child
seats and restraints, is shown later in this
section.
Children typically require the use of a
booster seat appropriate to their age and
size, thereby enabling the seat belts to be
properly fitted, reducing the risk of injury
in a crash.
•
•
Children could be endangered in a crash if
their child restraints are not properly
secured in the vehicle.
CAUTION: When fitting child seats and restraint
systems, always ensure that the
manufacturer's fitting instructions are followed
exactly. Note that crash statistics show that
children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear (2nd row) seating positions than in the
front.
DO NOT use a child seat that hooks over
the seat back. This type of seat cannot be
satisfactorily secured, and is unlikely to
be safe for your child.
•
Never leave a child unattended in your
vehicle.
