SAFETY
114
There are different sizes and types of
restraints for children from newborn size to
the child almost large enough for an adult
safety belt. Always check the child seat
Owner’s Manual to make sure you have the
correct seat for your child. Carefully read and
follow all the instructions and warnings in
the child restraint Owner’s Manual and on all
the labels attached to the child restraint.
Before buying any restraint system, make
sure that it has a label certifying that it
meets all applicable Safety Standards. You
should also make sure that you can install it
in the vehicle where you will use it.

Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In Vehicles
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can
become a projectile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you
could not hold the child, no matter how
strong you are. The child and others could
be badly injured or killed. Any child riding
in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child’s size.
