Q:
How do child restraints work?
A:
A child restraint system is any device designed for
use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position
children. A built-in child restraint system is a
permanent part of the motor vehicle. An add-on
child restraint system is a portable one, which
is purchased by the vehicle's owner.
For many years, add-on child restraints have used
the adult belt system in the vehicle. To help
reduce the chance of injury, the child also has to be
secured within the restraint. The vehicle's belt
system secures the add-on child restraint in the
vehicle, and the add-on child restraii-it's hamess
system holds the child in place within the restraint.
One system, the three-point harness, has straps
that come down over each of the infant's shoulders
and buckle together at the crotch. The five-point
harness system has two shoulder straps, two hip
straps ana a croicn sirap.

straps that are attached to a flat pad which rests low
against the child's body. A shelf- or armrest-type
shield has straps that are attached to a wide,
