What are the different types of
add-on child restraints?
!
Add-on child restraints, which are
purchased by the vehicle's owner,
are available in four basic types.
Selection of a particular restraint
should take into consideration not
only the child's weight, height, and
age but also whether or not the re‐
straint will be compatible with the
motor vehicle in which it will be
used. For most basic types of child
restraints, there are many different
models available. When purchas‐
ing a child restraint, be sure it is
designed to be used in a motor ve‐
hicle. If it is, the restraint will have
a label saying that it meets federal
motor vehicle safety standards.
The restraint manufacturer's in‐
structions that come with the re‐
straint state the weight and height
limitations for a particular child re‐
straint. In addition, there are many
kinds of restraints available for
children with special needs.
9 Warning
To reduce the risk of neck and
head injury during a collision, in‐
fants need complete support. This
is because an infant's neck is not
fully developed and its head
weighs so much compared to the
rest of its body. In a collision, an
infant in a rear-facing child re‐
straint settles into the restraint, so
the collision forces can be distrib‐
uted across the strongest part of
an infant's body – the back and
shoulders. Infants should always
be secured in rear-facing child re‐
straints.
