CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit in the rear
seat and must always be properly restrained to
minimize the risk of injury in an accident, sud-
den stop or sudden maneuver. According to
accident statistics provided by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should use one
of the seat belts provided.
All 50 states have child restraint laws. You
B220C01E
should be aware of the specific requirements in
your state. Child and/or infant safety seats
must be properly placed and installed in the
rear seat. You must use a commercially avail-
able child restraint system that meets the re-
quirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS).
Children could be injured or killed in a crash if
their restraints are not properly secured. For
small children and babies, a child seat or infant
seat must be used. Before buying a particular
child restraint system, make sure it fits your car
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow all the
instructions provided by the manufacturer when
installing the child restraint system.
