Child restraint systems
Points to remember
Studies have shown that installing a child restraint on a rear seat is
much safer than installing one on the front passenger seat.
●
Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is
appropriate to the age and size of the child.
●
For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the
child restraint system.

Types of child restraints
Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types
according to the age and size of the child:
Rear facing — Infant seat/convertible seat
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-
erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder
belt.
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the
use of child restraint systems.
