Child Safety

Important Safety Reminders

Never hold a baby or child on your
lap when riding in a car. If you are

wearing your seat belt, the violent
forces created during a crash will
tear the child from your arms.
The child could be seriously hurt
or killed.

If you are holding a child and not
wearing a seat belt in a crash, you
could crush the child against the
car's interior.

Never put your seat belt over

yourself and a child. During a

crash, the belt could press deep
into the child causing serious
internal injuries.

Two children should never use the
same seat belt. If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in
a crash.

General Guidelines for
Restraining Children Under
40 Ibs. (18kg)

Use an approved child seat.

The

seat must meet Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213
(FMVSS-213) or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards. Look for
the manufacturer's statement of
compliance on the box and seat.

Use a seat of the right size.

Make

sure the seat fits your child. Check
the seat's instructions and labels
for height and weight limits.

Secure the child seat to the car.

All approved child seats are de-
signed to be secured in the car
seat by the lap belt or the lap belt
portion of a lap/shoulder belt. A
child whose seat is not properly
secured to the car can be endan-
gered in a crash.

To properly route a seat belt
through a child seat, follow the
seat-maker's instructions. If you
use a lap/shoulder belt, be sure
you install a locking clip on the
belt (see page

22

).

Secure the child in the child seat.

Make sure the infant or child is
firmly secured to the child seat.
Use the straps provided, and
carefully follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
