restrained in an appropriate rearward-
facing or forward-facing CRS that has
first been properly secured to the seat of
the vehicle. Read and comply with the

Restraint System.

always ride in the rear seats; they must
always be restrained properly to mini

dent, sudden stop, or sudden maneuver.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seats than when they are in the
front seat. Children too large for a Child
Restraint System must use the seat belts
provided.
