Child-Restraint System Types
In this owner's manual, explanation of
child-restraint systems is provided for the
following three types of popular child-
restraint systems: infant seat, child seat,
booster seat.
NOTE
     
Installation position is determined
by the type of child-restraint system.
Always read the manufacturer's
instructions and this owner's manual
carefully.
     
Due to variations in the design of child-
restraint systems, vehicle seats and
seat belts, all child-restraint systems
may not
fi
t all seating positions. Before
purchasing a child-restraint system, it
should be tested in the speci
fi
c vehicle
seating position (or positions) where it
is intended to be used. If a previously
purchased child-restraint system does
not
fi
t, you may need to purchase a
different one that will.
Infant seat
An infant seat provides restraint by
bracing the infant's head, neck and back
against the seating surface.
Child seat
A child seat restrains a child's body using
the harness.
Booster seat
A booster seat is a child restraint accessory
designed to improve the
fi
t of the seat belt
system around the child's body.
When using a backless booster seat, always
install the vehicle head restraint to the seat
where the backless booster seat is installed.
