Cayman 2006 Driving & Safety — Section 2 • 19
A child safety seat is required for any child:
• Infants - from birth to one year, or up to 21 pounds, the child is considered an infant. A (convertible)
safety seat for an infant must be secured facing when facing to the rear. The top of the head must be below
the top of the safety seat. Secure safety seat harness straps at or below the shoulders. (See Example 1).
• Toddlers - Children over 1 year and over 20 to 40 pounds are considered toddlers. A (convertible) safety
seat for a child must be secured facing forward. The top of the head must be below the top of the safety
seat. Secure safety seat harness straps should be at or above the shoulders. (See Example 2). Most seats
require a top slot for facing forward.
• Young Children - Children (ages 4 to 8) over 40 pounds, unless over 4' 9", require a booster seat. The
booster seat places the child’s waist and shoulders at the proper height for the supplied safety belt to be
effective. The top of the head must be below the top of the safety seat. (See Example 2).
WARNING:
Installation illustrations are for reference only, and are not to be used as a guide. Because
there are many styles of safety and booster seats, refer to the safety seat manufacturer’s
manual for proper installation and how to properly install and secure the safety or booster
seat.
NOTE:
Individual states and Canadian provinces may prohibit use of a safety or booster seat in the
front seat.
Seat Belt Care:
Keep the belt clean and dry. To clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water. DO NOT clean seat belts with
bleach, dye or abrasive cleansers that may weaken the belt material. Periodically inspect belts for cuts, frays
or loose parts, and replace damaged parts. DO NOT disassemble or modify the system. Replace the seat belt
assembly after a severe impact, even when damage is not obvious.
