Rear-Facing Child Restraint; Forward-Facing Child Restraints - Hyundai EQUUS 2016 Owner's Manual

Rear-Facing child restraint

WARNING
NEVER install a child or infant
restraint in the front passen-
ger's seat. Placing a rear-facing
child restraint in front may
result in SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH, when an inflating air
bag strikes the child restraint.
A rear-facing child restraint utilizes
the friction between the seating sur-
face and a child's back. The harness
system holds the child in place, and
keeps the child in position in an acci-
dent, and reduces the stress to the
fragile neck and spinal cord.
All children under age one must
always ride in a rear-facing child
restraint. There are several types of
rear-facing child restraints: infant-
only seats can be used only for rear-
facing. Convertible and 3-in-1 child
restraints typically have higher height
and weight limits for the rear-facing
position, allowing you to keep your
child rear-facing for a longer period
of time.
Safety system of your vehicle
Keep a child restrained in a rear-fac-
ing restraint as long as a child is
under the height/weight limits of a
child restraint. It is the best way to
keep them safe. Once your child out-
grows the rear-facing child restraint
limit, your child is ready for a forward-
facing child restraint with a harness.

Forward-Facing child restraints

OVI035114N
A forward-facing child restraint uti-
lizes the friction between a child's
body and a harness. Keep a child
harnessed in a forward-facing child
restraint as long as the child is under
the height/weight limit of a child
restraint.
Once your child outgrows the for-
ward-facing child restraint limit, your
child is ready for a booster seat.
