What are the different types
of
add-on
child restraints?
A:
Add-on child restraints are available
in
four basic
types. When selecting
a
child restraint, take into
consideration
not
only the child’s weight
and
size,
but
also
whether or not the restraint will be
compatible with the motor vehicle
in
which it will
be
used.
An
infant
car
bed
(A)
is
a
special bed made for use
in
a
motor vehicle. It’s
an
infant restraint system
designed to
restrain
or
position
a
child
on
a
continuous flat
surface.
With
an
infant
car
bed,
make
sure
that
the
infant’s
head
rests
toward
the
center
of
the
vehicle.
