Child Restraint System - Toyota Tacoma 1996 Instruction Manual

—Child restraint system

A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be restrained
on the seat with the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt.
The child restraint system should conform
to the size of the child and properly fit the
vehicle seat. For greater safety, the child
restraint system should be installed in the
rear seat if your vehicle is equipped with
rear seats. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seat than in the front
seat. However, the shape of a child re-
straint system may not allow to be
installed securely in the rear seat. In this
case, we recommend to install the child
restraint system in the front seat.
When installing a child restraint system,
follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the system. General di-
rections are also provided under the fol-
lowing illustrations.
CAUTION
!
After installing the child restraint
system, make sure it is secured in
place. If it is not restrained securely,
it may cause injury to the child in the
event of a sudden stop or accident.
When not using the child restraint system,
keep it secured with the seat belt or place
it somewhere other than in passenger
compartment. This will prevent it injuring
passengers in the event of a sudden stop
or accident.
