Child Restraint System - Toyota Previa Owner's Manual

S Toyota strongly urges use of a
proper child restraint system that
conforms to the size of the child on
the rear seat. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat
than in the front seat.
S Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause severe injury in a rear-
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front seat.
S Unless it is unavoidable, do not
install a forward-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat.
S If you must install a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front
seat, move the seat as far back as
possible.
S Make sure that you have complied
with all installation instructions
provided by the child restraint
manufacturer and that the system
is properly secured.

-Child restraint system

A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with either the
lap belt or the lap portion of the lap/
shoulder belt. You must carefully con-
sult the manufacturer's instructions
which accompany your child restraint
system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child re-
straint system following the manufactur-
er's instructions about the appropriate
age and size of the child for the child re-
straint system.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer of the system.
The child restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat. According to ac-
cident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than in
the front seat.
CAUTION
!
S Never install a rear-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat. In
the event of an accident, the force
of the rapid inflation of the airbag
can cause severe injury in a rear-
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front seat.
S Unless it is unavoidable, do not
install a forward-facing child re-
straint system on the front seat.
S If you must install a forward-fac-
ing child restraint system on the
front seat, move the seat as far
back as possible.
S After installing the child restraint
system, make sure it is secured in
place following the manufactur-
er's instructions. If it is not re-
strained securely, it can cause in-
jury to the child in the event of a
sudden stop or accident.
