SAFETY RESTRAINTS FOR CHILDREN·
In most states, you are required by law to use safety restraints for children.
If small children (less than four yearsold, and under 40 pounds ride in your
vehicle, you must put them in safety seats that are made specially for children.
Safety belts alone do not provide maximum protection for-these children.
Check your local and state laws for specific requirements.
Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has been closed up
in sunny weather, and could burn a small child. Check seat covers and buckles.
before you place a child anywhere near them ..
WARNING
Never leave a child unattended in your vehicle.
Always remove.the key from the ignition and take it
with you.
SAFETY BELTS FOR CHILDREN
Children who are too large for child safety seats should always wear safety
belts.
If the shoulder belt cannot be properly positioned so that it does not cross
or rest in front of the child's face or neck, move the child to one of the seats
with a lap belt only and use the lap belt.
Lap belts and the lap portion of lap and shoulder belts should always be
worn snugly and below the hips, touching'the child's thighs.
WARNING
If safety belts are not properly worn and adjusted as
described, the risk of serious injury to the child in a
collision will be much greater.
Children should always ride with the seatback in the fully upright position.
When the seatback is not fully upright, there is a greater risk that the child will .
slide under the safety belt and be seriously injur(!d in a collision.
