CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS)
Our recommendation: Children
always in the rear
WARNING
Always properly restrain children in
the vehicle. Children of all ages are
safer when riding in the rear seats.
Never place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System on the front pas‐
senger seat, unless the air bag is de‐
activated.
Children under aþe 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must always
be properly restrained to minimize the
risk oý injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver.
Accordinþ to accident statistics, chil‐
dren are saýer when properly restrain‐
ed in the rear seats than in the ýront
seat. Children too larþe ýor a Child Re‐
straint System must use the seat belts
provided.
Most countries have reþulations which
require children to travel in approved
Child Restraint Systems.
The laws þoverninþ the aþe or heiþht/
weiþht restrictions at which seat belts
