WARNING:
Do not transport children unrestrained . Infants must be placed in approved safety seats — small children must be
restrained in child safety seats . Do not use a single seat belt on more than one child . Failure to comply with
these rules can lead to injury or death .
TIPS:
• Go to
www.nhtsa.gov
and choose “Child Safety Seat Information” from the menu or click on the child
passenger safety icon . The site includes child safety seat installation tips, product ratings, recalls and
other useful information .
• For more information about child safety seats, booster seats, inspection/fitting stations in your area,
seat belts, and other highway safety issues, call the DOT Vehicle Safety Hotline at:
1-888-327-4236
.
• A certified child passenger safety technician can check your installation and answer questions . To find a
technician or an inspection station near you, go to
www.nhtsa.gov
, click on the child passenger safety icon,
and then click on the Fitting/Inspection Station link, or go to
www.seatcheck.org
.
Step 1:
For the best possible protection keep infants in the
back seat, in rear-facing child safety seats, as long
as possible up to the height or weight limit of the
particular seat . At a minimum, keep infants rear-
facing until a minimum of age 1 and at least 20
pounds .
Step 2:
When children outgrow their rear-facing seats (at a
minimum age 1 and at least 20 pounds) they should
ride in forward-facing child safety seats, in the back
seat, until they reach the upper weight or height limit
of the particular seat (usually around age 4 and 40
pounds) .
Step 3:
Once children outgrow their forward-facing seats
(usually around age 4 and 40 pounds), they should
ride in booster seats, in the back seat, until the
vehicle seat belts fit properly . Seat belts fit properly
when the lap belt lays across the upper thighs and
the shoulder belt fits across the chest (usually at age
8 or when they are 4’, 9” tall) .
Step 4:
When children outgrow their booster seats, (usually
at age 8 or when they are 4’9” tall) they can use the
adult seat belt in the back seat, if it fits properly (lap
belt lays across the upper thighs and the shoulder
belt fits across the chest) . All children under age 13
should ride in the back seat .
