Door Locks - Honda 1996 Accord Wagon Owner's Manual

Two children should never use
the same seat belt. If they do,
they could be very seriously
injured in a crash.
If your are driving with small
children in the car, you should
use the childproof door locks to
prevent them from opening the
rear doors (see page 46).
For their safety, do not leave
children alone in your car
without adult supervision.
General Guidelines for
Restraining Children Under
40 Ib (18kg)
Use an approved child seat. The
seat must meet Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213
(FMVSS-213). Look for the
manufacturer's statement of
compliance on the box and seat.
Use a seat of the right size. Make
sure the seat fits your child.
Check the seat's instructions and
labels for height and weight
limits.
Secure the child seat to the car. All
approved child seats are
designed to be secured in the car
seat by the lap belt or the lap
belt portion of a lap/shoulder
belt. A child whose seat is not
properly secured to the car can
be endangered in a crash.
To properly route a seat belt
through a child seat, follow the
seat-maker's instructions. If you
use a lap/shoulder belt, follow
the instructions on page 21.
Secure the child in the child seat.
Make sure the infant or child is
firmly secured to the child seat.
Use the straps provided, and
carefully follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Child Safety
Restraining an Infant
Who Weighs Less Than
20 Ib (9 kg)
An infant up to about 20 Ib (9 kg)
must be restrained in an infant
seat or a convertible seat
designed for a baby. Because
infants must ride in a reclining
position, be sure the infant seat
always faces the REAR of the car
as shown.
