Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags

Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her

lap or in his or her arms while the vehicle is

moving. The passenger cannot protect the

child from injury in a collision, because the

child will be caught between the passenger and

objects inside the vehicle.

Additionally, holding a child in your lap or arms

in the front seat exposes that child to another

serious danger. Since the SRS airbag deploys

with considerable speed and force, the child

could be injured or even killed.

Children should be properly restrained at all

times. Never allow a child to stand up, or to

kneel on any seat. Unrestrained children will be

thrown forward during sudden stop or in an ac-

cident and can be injured seriously.

Additionally, children standing up or kneeling

on or in front of the front seat are exposed an-

other serious danger. Since the SRS airbag de-

ploys with considerable speed and force, the

child could be injured or even killed.
