Child restraint systems

A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-
erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder
belt.
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the
use of child restraint systems.

Points to remember

much safer than installing one to the front passenger seat.
G Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is
appropriate to the age and size of the child.
G For installation details, follow the instructions provided with the
child restraint system.
General installation instructions are provided in this manual.
