WARNINGS. Make certain that the child and

Many types and models of child restra ints
have been available over the years, new mod-
els are introduced regular ly incorporating new
and improved designs and older models are
taken out of production . Child rest raints are
not standardi zed. Child restra ints of the same
type typi cally have differen t weights and sizes
and different "footprints", the size and shape
of the bottom of the child restraint that sits
on the seat, when they are installed on a vehi-
cle seat. These differences make it virtually
imposs ible to certify compliance w ith the re-
quirements for advanced airbags w ith each
and every child restraint that has ever been
sold in the past or will be sold over the course
of the useful life of your vehicle .
For this reason, the United States National
Highway Traffic Safety Admin istration has
published a list of specific type, makes and
models of child rest raints that must be used
to certify compliance of the Advanced Airbag
System in your vehicle with the suppress ion
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 208 . These child restraints are:
