Selecting The Right System - HOLDEN MY18 TJ Trax Owner's Manual

54 Seats, restraints
Warning
Always ensure the seat belt fits
firmly around the child restraint.
If a child cannot see out of the
window, do not raise him/her by
means of an ordinary cushion. It
will not stay in place in a collision
and the child can slip out of the
straps and become entangled.
Selecting the right
system
Infants
Rearward facing infant capsules
are designed so that in the event
of a collision, impact forces will be
evenly spread over the baby's back,
with minimal jarring to the vulnerable
head and neck area.
Young children
Forward facing child seats are for
use when the child is able to sit and
easily hold their head upright.
Booster seats
Booster seats are for when children
outgrow a typical forward facing child
seat, but are still too small for three
point seat belts.
Older children
A child should use a normal three
point seat belt only when:
• They can sit against the back of
the rear seat with knees bent
comfortably at the edge of
the seat.
• The lap belt rests low and snug
across the hips, not across the
stomach.
• The sash belt is centred on the
shoulder and chest.
• They are able to stay seated like
this for the entire trip.
