Child Safety (cont'd)
Important Safety Reminders
Never hold a baby or child on your lap when riding in a car. If you are
wearing your seat belt, the violent forces created during a crash will tear
the child from your arms. The child could be seriously hurt or killed.
If you are holding a child and not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could
crush the child against the inside of the car.
Never put your seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt
could press deep into the child, and cause serious internal injuries.
Two children should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could
be very seriously injured in a crash.
If you are driving with small children in the car, you should use the
childproof door locks to prevent them from opening the rear doors (see
page
7
).
General Guidelines for Restraining Children Under 40 Pounds
Use an approved child seat.
The seat must meet Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS-213) or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards. Look for the manufacturer's statement of compliance on the
box and seat.
Use a seat of the right size.
Make sure the seat fits your child. Check
the seat manufacturer's instructions and labels for height and weight
limits.
Secure the child seat to the car.
All approved child seats are designed
to be secured in the car seat by the lap belt or the lap belt portion of a
lap/shoulder belt. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the car
can be endangered in a crash.
To properly route a seat belt through a child seat, follow the seat maker's
instructions. If you use a lap/shoulder belt, be sure you install a locking
clip on the belt (see page
36
).
Secure the child in the child seat.
Make sure the infant or child is firmly
secured to the child seat. Use the straps provided, and carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
