Group 3 Child Restraint
Systems
For children with weight between
22 kg to 36 kg (49 lb to 79 lb) devices
are available to position the seat belt
correctly.

the seat.

pelvis and as snug as possible.
• Check belt fit periodically. A child's
squirming or slouching can move the
belt out of position.

not restrain the child's throat.
• Never allow a child to put the
shoulder belt under an arm or
behind their back.
Over 1.50 m (5 ft) in height children
can wear seat belts like adults.

an infant or child restraint. It could
come loose in a collision. The child
could be badly injured or killed.

manufacturer's directions exactly
when installing a child restraint
system.
