Seating Larger Children
WARNING: Make sure the booster seat
or vehicle seat properly supports the
child's head. The seat back must be at
or above the center of the child's ears.
WARNING: Make sure to properly fit the
vehicle seat belt onto the child with the
shoulder portion of the belt away from
the face and neck and the lap portion
of the belt lying across the child’s lap,
not over the stomach.
WARNING: When a booster seat is not
in use, do not leave it loose in the
vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision,
it could strike the occupants or seat
backs and cause serious injury. Secure
the booster seat or remove it from the
vehicle entirely.
If a child is too big to fit into a child safety
seat but too small to safely fit into the standard
seat belts, use a booster seat appropriate for
the child’s age and size.
Carefully read and follow all the instructions,
warnings, and labels attached to the booster
seat and provided by the booster seat’s
manufacturer.
Always check and adjust every child’s seat belt
for every trip.
Children who are big enough to wear the
shoulder belt properly and comfortably, and
whose legs are long enough to bend over the
front of the seat when their back is against the
seat back, should use the seat belt in a rear
seat.
Installing Child Safety Seats
WARNING: When installing any child
safety seat, it is strongly recommended
to always remove the head restraint
from the vehicle seat.
WARNING: Correctly anchor child
safety seats. Incorrectly anchoring the
child safety seats may result in a
significant risk of injury to the child in
the event of a collision or emergency
braking.
WARNING: After installing a child
safety seat in the vehicle, do not adjust
the vehicle seat, as this can loosen the
safety seat attachments. Remove the
safety seat before adjusting the vehicle
seat position. When the vehicle seat
has been adjusted, reinstall the safety
seat.
Not all child restraint systems are the same,
and they do not all install in the same way.
There are two types of installations:
- Those that you secure to the vehicle seats
by the seat belts; and
- Those that you secure using LATCH/
ISOFIX child seat anchor points built into
the rear seat frame.
All new and most older child restraint systems
also use an upper tether strap that attaches to
an anchorage point on the parcel shelf.
Note: Check the manufacturer's instructions
to see which installation method to use.
For some systems, you can use either
installation method. Always follow the child
restraint manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations.
