Toyota Sienna 2000 Operating Manual page 80

This child restraint is designed for use
only by children who weigh between 10
and 18 kg (22.1 and 39.5 lb.) and whose
height is between 85 and 101 cm (33.5
and 40.0 in.).
The child should be at least one year
old and must be capable of sitting up-
right alone and whose shoulder height
is at or below the maximum shoulder
height indicator. See indicator label be-
hind child seat pad.
It is important to use a rear- facing
child restraint until the child is about
a year old. A rear- facing restraint gives
the child's head, neck and body the
support they would need in a crash.
See "—Child restraint system" for more
information.
If your child's shoulders are above the
indicator position, do not use the built-
in child restraint. Your child should use
the adult lap and shoulder belt.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.

dren.
