When choosing a child restraint, be sure the child

restraint is designed to be used in a vehicle. If it is,

it will have a label saying that it meets federal motor

vehicle safety standards.

Then follow the instructions for the restraint. You may

ﬁnd these instructions on the restraint itself or in a

booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system or

the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children)

system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be

secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of

personal injury. When securing an add-on child

restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the

restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in

a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint

instructions are important, so if they are not available,

obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer.

Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move

around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people

in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child

restraint in your vehicle – even when no child is in it.

Where to Put the Restraint

Accident statistics show that children are safer if they

are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. We

recommend that child restraints be secured in a rear

seat, including an infant riding in a rear-facing infant

seat, a child riding in a forward-facing child seat and an

older child riding in a booster seat.

Your vehicle has a rear seat that will accommodate a

rear-facing child restraint. A label on your sun visor says,

“Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front.” This

is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great,

if the airbag deploys.
