allow a baby or young child to be
carried on the lap. The force of a crash can
increase effective body weight by as much
as 30 times, making it impossible to hold

CHILD SEATS
In any car accident, children are as vulnerable
as adults. It makes sense to ensure they are
properly restrained.
A range of child safety seats approved for use
in all Rover cars is available from your Dealer,
who will advise which type is most suitable.
Child safety seat straps can be attached to the
rear seat belt bracket and anchorage point
(arrowed in illustration) using the fixings and
instructions supplied with the safety seat.
WARNING!
A pregnant woman should ask a doctor
for advice on the safest way to wear
seat belts.
