Child Safety
Children depend on adults to
protect them. To help make sure
we do, every state and Canadian
province has laws requiring infants
and young children to be properly
restrained whenever they ride in a
car.
Where Should Children Sit?
According to accident statistics,
children of all sizes and ages are
safer when they are properly
restrained in the rear seat rather
than the front seat.
We recommend that, whenever
possible, you secure your child's
infant or toddler seat in the rear
seat with the lap/shoulder belt. You
must use a locking clip with a lap/
shoulder belt.
For cars with passenger airbags,
we strongly recommend that you
do not put an infant seat in the
front passenger seat. If the airbag
inflates, it can hit the seat with
great force. The infant seat can be
dislodged and the baby seriously
injured.
We also recommend that any child
who is too large to use an infant or
toddler seat ride in the rear seat.
The child should then wear the lap/
shoulder belt properly for protec-
tion.
Driver and Passenger Safety
An infant or child who is not
properly restrained can be
killed or seriously injured in a
crash.
Be sure any child too small for
seat belts is properly secured
in a child restraint.
