Knowing your vehicle
Restraint of larger children
WARNING - Children on
laps
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.
WARNING - Infants and
young children
As children grow, they may need to
use new child-restraint systems,
including larger child seats or boost-
er seats, which are appropriate for
their increased size.
A child who has outgrown available
child-restraint systems should use
the belts provided in the vehicle.
When seated in the rear outboard
seats, the child should be restrained
by the lap/shoulder belt.
If the shoulder belt portion slightly
touches the child’s neck or face, try
placing the child closer to the center
of the vehicle. If the shoulder belt still
touches their face or neck they need
to be returned to a child restraint sys-
tem. In addition, after-market devices
are available from independent man-
ufacturers which help pull the shoul-
der belt down and away from the
child’s face or neck.

• Infants and young children are
at much greater risk ofserious
injury or death in an accident
orsuddenstopif they are unre-
strained or restrained improp-
erly. Follow all instructions in
this section and the instruc-
tions that came with an
approved child safety system.

rectly installed in the vehicle,
and the child must be correctly
placedin the child restraint.
