Seats and Restraints

{
Warning
Children can be seriously
injured or killed if the
shoulder belt is worn behind
their back, under their legs,
or wrapped around their
neck. The shoulder belt can
tighten but cannot be
loosened if it is locked. The
shoulder belt locks when it is
pulled all the way out of the
retractor. It unlocks when
the shoulder belt is allowed
to go all the way back into
the retractor, but it cannot
do this if it is wrapped
around the child. Never
leave children unattended in
a vehicle and never allow
children to improperly wear,
or play with, the seat belts.
Every time infants and young
children ride in vehicles, they
should have the protection
provided by appropriate child
restraints. Neither the
vehicle's seat belt system nor
its airbag system is designed
for them.
Children who are not
restrained properly can strike
other people, or can be
thrown out of the vehicle.
{
Warning
Never hold an infant or a
child while riding in a vehicle.
Due to crash forces, an
infant or a child will become
so heavy it is not possible to
hold it during a crash. For
example, in a crash at only
40 km/h (25 mph), a
5.5 kg (12 lb) infant will
suddenly become a
110 kg (240 lb) force on a
person's arms. An infant or
child should be secured in an
appropriate child restraint.
{
Warning
Children who are up against,
or very close to, any airbag
when it inflates can be
seriously injured or killed.
Never put a rear-facing child
restraint in the front
outboard seat. Secure a
rear-facing child restraint in
a rear seat. It is also better
to secure a forward-facing
child restraint in a rear seat.
If you must secure a
forward-facing child
restraint in the front
