Selecting an appropriate child restraint system

■
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child until the child becomes
●
large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt.
If the child is too large for a child restraint system, sit the child on a rear seat
●
and use the vehicle's seat belt. (→P. 32)
WARNING
Using a child restraint system
■
The use of a child restraint system not suitable for the vehicle may not prop-
erly secure the infant or child. It may result in death or serious injury (in the
event of sudden braking or an accident).
Child restraint precautions
■
For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
●
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior.
Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
●
forms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat.
