Acura 2005 NSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 30)

To provide proper protection, a child
seat should meet three
requirements:
Look for FMVSS
213 or CMVSS 213 on the box.
Before purchasing a child seat, or
using a previously purchased one, we
recommend that you test the seat to
make sure it fits properly in the
passenger’s seat.
After selecting a proper child seat,
there are three main steps in
installing a child seat:
All child seats must be
secured to the vehicle with the lap
part of a lap/shoulder belt. A child
whose seat is not properly secured
to the vehicle can be endangered
in a crash.
After installing a child
seat, push and pull the seat
forward and from side to side to
verify that it is secure.
A child seat secured with a seat
belt should be installed as firmly
as possible. However, it does not
need to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ Some side-
to-side movement can be expected
and should not reduce the child
seat’s effectiveness.
Make sure the child is properly
strapped in the child seat
according to the child seat maker’s
instructions. A child who is not
properly secured in a child seat
can be seriously injured in a crash.
The following pages provide
guidelines on how to properly install
a forward-facing child seat.
If the child seat is not secure, use
a different style of child seat that
can be firmly secured. Selecting a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat
