Safety features of your Kia Child Restraint System (CRS)
Child Restraint System (CRS)
Infants and younger children must be
restrained in the rear with an appropri
-
ate rear-facing or forward-facing CRS
that has first been properly secured to
the rear seat of the vehicle.
Please refer to your state or federal laws
for child seating requirements in the
operation of a motor vehicle.
Children always in the rear
Children age 13 and under must always
ride in the rear seats and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the risk
of injury in an accident, sudden stop or
sudden maneuver.
Restraint Location
Never install a child or infant seat on the
front passenger's seat. A child riding in
the front can be forcefully struck by an
inflating airbag and seriously injured.
Hot Child Restraint
A CRS can become very hot if it is left in
a closed vehicle on a sunny day. Check
the seat cover, buckles and latches
before placing a child in the restraint
system.
According to accident statistics, children
age 13 and under are safer when prop
-
erly restrained in the rear seats than in
the front seat. Even with airbags, chil
-
dren can be seriously injured or killed.
Children too large for a child restraint
must use the seat belts provided.
Most countries have child restraint laws
which require children to travel in
approved child restraint devices. The
laws governing the age or height/weight
restrictions at which seat belts can be
used instead of child restraints differs
among countries so you should be
aware of the specific requirements in
your countries and where you are travel
-
ing.
The CRS must be properly placed and
installed in the rear seat. You must use a
commercially available CRS that meets
the Safety Standards of your country.
A CRS is designed to be secured in a
vehicle seat by lap belt portion of a lap/
shoulder belt, or by a LATCH system in
the rear seats of the vehicle.
