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)” FP65).

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.
