Selecting A Child Restraint System (Crs) - Kia Soul 2020 Owner's Manual

Safety features of your vehicle
Selecting a Child Restraint System
(CRS)
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
• Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS 213).
• Select a child restraint based on
your child's height and weight.
The required label or the instruc -
tions for use typically provide this
information.
• Select a child restraint that fits
the vehicle seating position where
it will be used.
• Read and comply with the warn -
ings and instructions for installa -
tion and use provided with the
child restraint system.
WARNING
Holding Children
Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The vio -
lent forces created during a crash
will tear the child from your arms
and throw the child against the car's
interior. Always use a child restraint
system which is appropriate for
your child's height and weight.

WARNING
Unattended Children
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in injuries to the
child in the vehicle.
WARNING
Seat Belt Use
Do not use one seat belt for two
occupants at the same time. This
will eliminate any safety benefit
provided by the seat belt to the
occupants.
Child restraint system types
There are three main types of child
restraint systems: rear-facing
seats, forward-facing seats, and
booster seats. They are classified
according to the child's age, height
and weight.
