Where To Put The Restraint; Older Children - HOLDEN TM BARINA Owner's Handbook Manual

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.

Where to put the restraint

Warning
Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
child restraints. Under no
circumstances are they to
be used for adult seat belts,
harnesses, or for attaching
other items or equipment to
the vehicle.
Only child restraints that have
clips to attach to the vehicle's
anchorage fittings are to be used.
Earlier types of child restraints
may not attach securely to this
type of anchor.
Use only Standards Australia
and New Zealand approved child
restraints and harnesses. Only
purchase a child restraint which
carries the appropriate Standards
Australia sticker of approval.
Seats, restraints
Where legally allowable, you
may install a forward-facing child
restraint in the front seat, but
always move the passengers
seat as far back as it will go.
The forward facing child restraint
must still be attached to the
passenger side child restraint
anchorage point, located behind
the rear seat.
Remember, it is safest for
children to be seated in the
rear seat.
Note
If unsure about installing a child
restraint, contact an approved
restraint fitting station or a Holden
Dealer.
