CHILD SAFETY
(continued)
Category:
- under 13 kg or 28 lb
(9 - 24 months)
Between the ages of 2 and 4, a
child's pelvis is not fully developed.
Restraints
using
the
car's
three-point belts are not adequate
and there is a risk that the child will
sustain abdominal injuries in the
event of a frontal collision. It is
therefore
advisable
to
use
rear-facing
seats
(figure
1),
bucket-type seats (figure 2) or seats
with harnesses.
Place the head restraint at the top
position to allow you to press the
seat back of the child seat firmly
against the vehicle seat back.
Category:
- from 9 to 18 kg or 20 to 40 lb
(9 - 48 months)
The type of restraint most suitable
for the pelvis of a child aged
between 4 and 7 is one that can be
combined with a three-point seat
belt. This is a booster seat (figure 3)
with belt guides to ensure that the
belt will be worn flat over the thighs
of the child.
