Once you have selected an appropriate infant
or child restraint, read and carefully follow the
manufacturer's instructions for installing and
using the system. The child restraint system
should be appropriate for your child's age,
height and weight; and it should fit properly
and securely in the vehicle. There are different
kinds of restraint systems that are available
for all sizes of children until they reach a
height and weight at which they can safely
use the vehicle's safety belt system.

Accident statistics show that children are
safer in accidents when they are restrained
in the rear seat rather than the front seat
of the vehicle.

SEATS AND OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS 1–11
Children who have outgrown their child re-
straint system should sit in the rear seat, re-
strained by the safety belt that is fastened
properly, making sure that the shoulder por-
tion is adjusted to be as far away from the
neck as possible and that the lap portion is
low across the hips. Check the belt position
from time to time to verify that it is safely
positioned.
If the child must sit in a front seat, make cer-
tain that the shoulder belt does not lie across
the child's face or neck. If it does, move the
child closer to the centre of the vehicle so that
the safety belt is on the child's shoulder.
Never let the child stand or kneel on the seat,
or in the cargo areas, while your vehicle is
moving.
When the child seat is not in use, secure the
seat with the vehicle's safety belt or remove
it from the vehicle.
