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 .
