Child Safety
If you are using a toddler seat in the
front passenger's seat, move the
passenger's seat as far back as
possible before installing the child
seat. If the passenger's bag inflates,
it could seriously hurt a toddler who
is not in the proper position or
properly restrained.
Restraining a Child Who Weighs
Over 18 kg (40 Ibs)
We recommend that, whenever
possible, a child who has outgrown a
toddler seat ride in the second or
third seat and use a lap/shoulder
belt.
Put the seat belt on your child and
check its fit. The shoulder belt
should fit over the collarbone and
across the chest. The lap belt should
sit low on your child's hips, not
across the stomach.
If the shoulder belt crosses the neck
while sitting in the second or third
bench seat, have your child move
toward the center of the seat until
the belt fits properly. If the belt still
crosses the child's neck, you should
use a booster seat.
Several styles of booster seats are
available. We recommend a design
that allows the child to use the car's
lap/shoulder belt.
Whichever style you select, follow
the booster seat manufacturer's
instructions.
