restraint regularly to make sure
that it has not shifted and come
into contact with any of the
safety belt buckles.
After an accident, have a Kia dealer
check the Child Restraint System,
seat belts, tether anchors and lower
anchors.
Selecting a CRS
When selecting a CRS for your child,
always:
䳜 Make sure the CRS has a label
certifying that it meets applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS 213).
䳜 Select a child restraint based on
your child's height and weight.
The required label or the instruc
-
tions for use typically provide this
information.
䳜 Select a child restraint that fits
the vehicle seating position where
it will be used.
䳜 Read and comply with the warn
-
ings and instructions for installa
-
tion and use provided with the
CRS.
䳜 The American Academy of Pedi
-
atrics provides helpful fit and
safety information about child
restraints at www.healthychil

Holding children
Never hold a child in your arms or
lap when riding in a vehicle. The vio
-
lent forces created during a crash
will tear the child from your arms
and throw the child against the car's
interior. Always use a Child Restraint
System which is appropriate for
your child's height and weight.
Unattended children
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in injuries to the
child in the vehicle.
Seat belt use
Do not use one seat belt for two
occupants at the same time. This
will eliminate any safety benefit
provided by the seat belt to the
occupants.
