5.2 Vehicle Seat Belt Requirements
• The VEHICLE seat must face forward.
• DO NOT use infant restraint on vehicle seats with seat backs
that will not lock in an upright position. DO NOT use seats that
can fold down without having to release a lock or latch of some
kind. These seats can fly forward and strike the child in a sudden
stop or crash.
MANY SEAT BELT SYSTEMS ARE NOT SAFE TO USE WITH
THE INFANT RESTRAINT. THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT MUST BE
DESIGNED TO HOLD THE INFANT RESTRAINT TIGHTLY AT
ALL TIMES.
Pay careful attention to these systems; some of the seat belts that
are NOT safe to use look very much like seat belts that are safe to
use. If you are unsure, consult your vehicle owner’s manual or call
Elfe Juvenile Products, 1-800-667-8184 or 514-344-3533 in Montreal.
