1-8. Safety information Child restraint systems A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be properly 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.
Page 124 1-8. Safety information Types of child restraints Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types according to the age and size of the child.

Page 125 In an accident, the child can be crushed against the wind- shield, or between you and the vehicle’ s interior. Lexus strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that conforms to ● the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat.
Page 126 1-8. Safety information CAUTION Child restraint precautions ■ Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system on the ● front or rear passenger seat. If installing a child restraint system with the seat belt extender connected to the seat belt, the seat belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, which could cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in the event of a sudden stop, sudden swerve or accident.
