clining passenger’s seat from driver’s
seat” earlier in this section for detailed
information.
In general, child restraints are designed to be
installed with the lap portion of a lap/shoulder
seat belt.
The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.
Generally, infants (up to about 1 year and less
than 20 lb(9 kg)) should be placed in rear facing
child restraints. Front facing child restraints are
available for children who outgrow rear facing
child restraints.
Child restraints for infants and children of various
sizes are offered by several manufacturers.
When selecting any child restraint, keep the
following points in mind:

choose only a restraint with a label certifying
that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

check the child restraint in your vehicle to be
sure it is compatible with the vehicle’s seat
and seat belt system.

if the child restraint is compatible with yourvehicle, place your child in the child restraint
and check the various adjustments to be sure
the child restraint is compatible with your
child. Choose a child restraint that is de-
signed for your child’s height and weight.
Always follow all recommended procedures.
All US states and Canadian provinces re-
quire that infants and small children be
restrained in approved child restraints at
all times while the vehicle is being oper-
ated.
WARNING

Improper use of a child restraint can
increase the risk or severity of injury
for both the child and other occu-
pants of the vehicle.

Follow all of the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions for installation
and use. When purchasing a child
restraint, be sure to select one which
will fit your child and vehicle. It may
not be possible to properly install
some types of child restraints in your
vehicle.
If the child restraint is not anchored
properly, the risk of a child being
injured in a collision or a sudden stop
greatly increases.

Adjustable seatbacks should be po-
sitioned to fit the child restraint, but
as upright as possible.

After attaching the child restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.
Push it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary. You may need to
try a different child restraint. Not all
child restraints fit in all types of ve-
hicles.

If you install a front facing child re-
straint in the front seat, see “Child
restraint installation on front passen-
ger seat” later in this section.

When your child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown
