Knowing your vehicle
Restraint of infants and small
Many companies manufacture child
restraint systems (often called child
seats) for infants and small children.
An acceptable child restraint system
must always satisfy the Safety
Standards of your country. Make
sure that any child-restraint system
you use in your vehicle is labelled as
complying with those safety stan-
dards.
The child-restraint system should be
chosen to fit both the size of the child
and the size of the vehicle seat. Be
sure to follow any instructions provid-
ed by the child-restraint system man-
ufacturer when installing the child-
restraint system.
WARNING - Infants and
children
young children
To increase their safety, infants and
young children should always be
restrained by a restraint system
approved for their age and size.
Never allow a child to stand or kneel
on the seat of a moving vehicle.
Never allow a safety belt to be placed
around both a child and an adult or
around two children at the same
time.

It is best for children to be seated in
the rear seats.
WARNING - Children on
laps
• All children under 12 are
safest in the backseat.
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms in a moving vehi-
cle.
Even a very strong person can-
not hold onto a child in the
event of even a minor collision.
• Never install a child or infant
seat in the front passenger
position. The baby will be
injured or killed by the air bag
if it deploys in an accident.

kneel on the seat of a moving
vehicle. Insist the child sit down
