Seat and restraint systems

The child restraint system should be appropri-
ate for your child’s weight and height, and
should properly fit your vehicle’s seat.
For detailed information, refer to the instruc-
tion manual accompanying the child restraint
system.
All children should be properly restrained in
a restraint device that offers the maximum
protection for their size and age.
Be sure to check local, state, or provincial
requirements for child size and age that may
vary from the recommendations listed below.
Children less than 1 year old and who
weigh 22 pounds (10 kg) or less MUST
ride in a rear-facing child safety seat that
MUST ONLY be used in the rear seat.
Children older than 1 year of age and who
weigh less than 40 pounds (18 kg) or who
are less than 40 inches (100 cm) tall
MUST be in a forward-facing restraint
that MUST ONLY be used in the rear
seat.
Children who weigh more than 40 pounds
(18 kg) or who are more than 40 inches
(100 cm) tall, regardless of age, should
use a suitable child seat or a booster seat
in the rear seat until the vehicle’s lap-and-
shoulder belt fits them properly.
Guidelines for child restraint
system selection
WARNING
All children must be seated in the rear
seat, and properly restrained.
Accident statistics show that children of
all sizes and ages are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seat, rather than in
the front seat.
Any child who is too large to use a child
restraint system should ride in the rear
seat and wear the lap-and-shoulder belt
properly. The shoulder belt must be posi-
tioned over the shoulder and across the
chest, not across their neck, and with the
lap belt positioned low on the child’s hips,
not across their stomach. If necessary, a
booster seat should be used to help achieve
a proper seat belt fit. Follow the booster
seat manufacturer’s instructions. Only use
a booster seat that is certified as comply-
ing with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards or Motor Vehicle Restraint Sys-
tems and Booster Seats Safety Regula-
tions.
WARNING
Never hold an infant or child in your arms
or on your lap when riding in this vehicle,
even when you are wearing your seat belt.
Never place any part of the seat belt you
are wearing around an infant or child.
Failure to follow these simple instructions
creates a risk of serious injury or death to
your child in the event of an accident or
sudden stop.
