Child Restraint Systems 55 |
||||||||
|
Children could be endangered in an accident if their child restraint systems are not properly secured in the vehicle. When installing the child restraint system, carefully follow the manufacturer’ s instructions.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
All U. S. states and Canadian provinces require that infants and small children be restrained in an approved child restraint system at all times while the vehicle is moving.

WARNING
. Before installing a child restraint system, be sure to confirm that the seatback is securely locked into place. Otherwise, in an accident, serious injury or death could result.
. Do not leave children in the car unattended. High interior temperatures may cause heat stroke and dehydration that result in serious injury or death.

WARNING
Never let a passenger hold a child on their lap or in their arms while the vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child( or infant) from injury in a collision, because the child will be caught between the passenger and objects inside the vehicle. Additionally, if a passenger holds a child on their lap or in their arms in the front seat, they expose the child to another serious danger. Since the SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force, the child could be injured or even killed.
