Protecting Child Passengers
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are
either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle accidents are the
number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, infants and children should be
properly restrained when they ride in a vehicle.
1 Protecting Child Passengers
In many countries, the law requires all children aged 12
and under, and whose height are shorter than 150 cm
(60 inches) be properly restrained in a rear seat.
In many countries, it is required to use an officially
approved and suitable child restraint system for
transporting a child on any passenger seat. Check
your local legal requirements.
Child restraint systems must meet the UN-ECE R44 or
the regulations of the subject countries.
2 Selecting a Child Restraint System P. 69
We recommend that child restraint systems meet the
UN-ECE R44 or the regulations of the subject
countries.

WARNING
Children who are unrestrained or
improperly restrained can be seriously
injured or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seat belt should be
properly restrained in an approved child
restraint system. A larger child should be
properly restrained with a seat belt, using a
booster seat if necessary.
