recommendations by their doctors.
The lap portion of the belt should be
worn AS SNUGLY AND AS LOW AS
POSSIBLE.

Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the
safety belt over the area of the

Restraint of Infants and Small
Children
wear
To increase their safety, infants and
young children should always be
restrained by a restraint system
approved for their age and size.
WARNING
- Children on Lap
Never hold a child on your lap
or in your arms in a moving
vehicle. Even a very strong per-
son cannot hold onto a child in
the event of even a minor colli-
sion.
KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Many companies manufacture child-
restraint systems (often called child
seats) for infants and small children.
An acceptable child-restraint system
must always satisfy Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards of your country.
Make sure that any child-restraint
system you use in your vehicle is
labeled as complying with those safe-
ty standards.
The child restraint system should be
chosen to fit both the size of the child
and the size of the vehicle seat. Be
sure to follow any instructions provid-
ed by the child restraint system man-
ufacturer when installing the child-
restraint system.
