WARNING!
A rearward facing infant restraint must not be used
in your Viper unless the passenger airbag has been
shut off. A rearward facing infant restraint may be
struck by a deploying passenger airbag which may
cause severe or fatal injury to the infant.
In addition, some manufacturers make systems that can
be first used as an infant carrier, then converted to a child
seat as the child grows.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child
restraint.
Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has
a label certifying that it meets Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213. The manufacturer also recommends that
before you buy a child restraint, you try it in the seat
where you will use it.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 35
The restraint must be appropriate for your child's weight
and height. Check the label on the restraint for this too.
Carefully follow the instructions that came with the
restraint. If you install the restraint improperly, it may not
work when you need it.
WARNING!
Improper installation can lead to failure of a child
restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child
could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manu-
facturer's directions exactly when installing a child
restraint.
• Child restraints are secured in the passenger seat by
the lap part of the lap/shoulder belt.
