Infants and children should be placed in an infant or child restraint system on the rear seat while riding in the vehicle .
You should use an infant or child restraint system that meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards , is compatible with your vehicle and is appropriate for the child ’ s age and size .
All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap / shoulder belt ( except those described in “ Installation of Child Restraint Systems by Use of Lower and Tether Anchorages ( LATCH )” FP74 ).
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 .
