Seats and Restraints
3-25
When the child restraint system is
not in use, secure the seat with a
seat belt or remove it from the
vehicle.
Note:
Do not stick anything on the
child restraint systems and do not
cover them with any other materials.
A child restraint system that has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
Infants
Rearward facing infant capsules are
designed so that in the event of a
collision, impact forces will be
evenly spread over the baby's back,
with minimal jarring to the
vulnerable head and neck area.
Young children
Forward facing child seats are for
use when the child is able to sit and
easily hold their head upright.
Booster seats
Booster seats are for when children
outgrow a typical forward facing
child seat, but are still too small for
three point seat belts.
Older children
A child should use a normal three
point seat belt only when:
.
They can sit against the back of
the rear seat with knees bent
comfortably at the edge of
the seat.
.
The lap belt rests low and snug
across the hips, not across the
stomach.
.
The sash belt is centred on the
shoulder and chest.
.
They are able to stay seated like
this for the entire trip.
