RESTRAINT OF PREGNANT
WOMEN
Pregnant women should
lap/shoulder belt assemblies whenever
possible according to specific
recommendations by their doctors. The
lap portion of the belt should be worn
AS SNUGLY AND LOW
POSSIBLE.
WARNING -
PREGNANT WOMEN
Pregnant women must never
place the lap portion of the safety
belt over the area of the abdomen
where the fetus is located or
above the abdomen.
RESTRAINT OF INFANTS
AND SMALL CHILDREN
wear Small children and infants should be
restrained by an approved child-restraint
system to help protect them while riding
in a vehicle.
Never allow a child to stand or kneel on
AS the seat of a moving vehicle. Never
allow a safety belt to be placed around
both a child and an adult or around two
children at the same time.
But it is the best way for safety that
children sit in rear seat, if it possible.
WARNING -
CHILDREN ON LAPS
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms in a moving vehicle.
Even a very strong person cannot
hold onto a child in the event of
even a minor collision.
Many companies manufacture child
restraint systems (often called child
seats) for infants and small children. An
acceptable child restraint system must
always satisfy the Safety Standards of
your country. Make sure that any child-
restraint system you use in your vehicle
is labeled as complying with those safety
standards.
The child-restraint system should be
chosen to fit both the size of the child
and the size of the vehicle seat. Be sure
to follow any instructions provided by
the child-restraint system manufacturer
when installing the child-restraint
system.
CAUTION -
HOT METAL PARTS
Safety belts and seats can become hot
in a vehicle that has been closed
during warm/hot weather; they could
burn a child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
