When choosing a child restraint, be sure the child
restraint is designed to be used in a vehicle. If it is, it
will have a label saying that it meets federal motor
vehicle safety standards.
Then follow the instructions for the restraint. You may
find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a
booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in
your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within
the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.
When securing an add
-
on child restraint, refer to the
instructions that come with the restraint which may be
on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this
manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so
if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from
the manufacturer.
Where to Put the Restraint
(Regular Cab Models)
If your vehicle is a regular cab model with an
air
-
suspension seat in the right front passenger’s
position, there is no place in your vehicle to secure a
child restraint. The only answer is to have smaller
children make the trip in another vehicle, where they
can get the protection they need.
CAUTION:
A child restraint cannot be secured properly in
an air
-
suspension type seat. This is because an
air
-
suspension seat is designed to move up and
down for an adult passenger. Don’t use a child
restraint in an air
-
suspension seat.
If your vehicle is a regular cab model with a static seat
in the right front passenger’s position, or if it has a
bench seat, the child restraint must be secured properly
in the right front passenger’s seat. If your vehicle has air
bags and you want to secure a rear
-
facing child restraint
in the right front passenger’s seat, turn off the
passenger’s air bag. See “Air Bag Off Switch” and
“Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat
Position” in the Index for more on this, including
important safety information.
