Many types and models of child restraints have

been available over the years, new models are in-

troduced regularly incorporating new and im-

proved designs and older models are taken out of

production. Child restraints are not standardized.

Child restraints of the same type typically have

different weights and sizes and different “foot-

prints,” the size and shape of the bottom of the

child restraint that sits on the seat, when they

are installed on a vehicle seat. These differences

make it virtually impossible to certify compliance

with the requirements for Advanced Airbags with

each and every child restraint that has ever been

sold in the past or will be sold over the course of

the useful life of your vehicle.
For this reason, the United States National High-

way Traffic Safety Administration has published a

list of specific types, makes and models of child

restraints that must be used to certify compli-

ance of the Advanced Airbag System in your ve-

hicle with the suppression requirements of Fed-

eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208. These

child restraints are:
