Child restraint systems

While riding in the vehicle, infants and
small children should always be placed in
an infant or child restraint system in one of
the rear seating positions recommended
in this owner's manual. You should use an
infant or child restraint system that meets
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
or Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-
dards, is compatible with your vehicle and
is appropriate for the child's age and size.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt
(except those covered under the section
in this manual, entitled "Installation of child
restraint systems by use of lower and teth-
er anchorages (LATCH)").
Children could be endangered in an acci-
dent if their child restraints are not proper-
ly secured in the vehicle. When installing
the child restraint system, carefully follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating positions.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces
require that infants and small children be
restrained in an approved child restraint
system at all times while the vehicle is

moving.
