Protecting Children
General Guidelines for Using
Child Seats
The following pages give general
guidelines for selecting and installing
child seats for infants and small
children.
Selecting a Child Seat
To provide proper protection, a child
seat should meet three
requirements:
1. The child seat should meet
safety standards.
The child seat
should 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.
2. The child seat should be of the
proper type and size to fit the
child.
Infants:
Children up to about one
year old should be restrained in a
rear-facing, reclining child seat. Only
rear-facing seats provide the support
an infant needs to protect their head,
neck, and back. See page
27
for
additional information on protecting
infants.
Small Children:
A child who is too
large for a rear-facing child seat, and
who can sit up without support,
should be restrained in a forward-
facing child seat. See page
31
for
additional information on protecting
small children.
