SEATS AND RESTRAINTS
71
Danger (Continued)
Never allow two children to share
the same seat belt. Both could
suffer serious injuries in a crash.
{
Danger
Infants and children must never be
carried on the lap of another
occupant.
Although an infant does not weigh
much, it will be so heavy during a
crash that it will be impossible to
hold it, even if the occupant is
attached to the seat belt.
Where to Put the Restraint
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in an appropriate
child restraint secured in a rear
seating position.
Whenever possible, children aged
12 and under should be secured in a
rear seating position.
Never put a rear-facing child restraint
in the front. This is because the risk
to the rear-facing child is so great if
the airbag deploys.
{
Danger
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it;
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
{
Danger
When using a child restraint on the
front passenger seat, the airbag
systems for the front passenger seat
must be deactivated; if not, the
triggering of the airbags poses a
risk of fatal injury to the child.
This is especially the case if
rear-facing child restraints are used
on the front passenger seat.
