Protecting Children

Installing a Child Seat

After selecting a proper child seat,

there are three main steps in
installing the seat:

1. Secure the child seat to the car

with a seat belt. A l l child seats

must be secured to the car with
the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt.

A child whose seat is not properly

secured to the car can be
endangered in a crash. See page

27

for instructions on how to

secure a forward-facing child seat
in this car.

2. Make sure the child seat is firmly

secured. After installing a child

seat, push and pull the seat

forward and from side to side to
verify that it is secure.

To provide security during normal

driving maneuvers as well as during
a collision, we recommend that
parents secure a child seat as firmly
as possible.

However, a child seat does not need
to be "rock solid." It may be difficult
to install a child seat so that it does
not move at all. Some side-to-side or
back-and-forth movement can be
expected and should not reduce the
child seat's effectiveness.

3. Secure the child in the child seat.

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 thrown out of the seat in a
crash and be seriously injured.

Storing a Child Seat

When you are not using a child seat,
either remove it and store it in a safe
place, or make sure it is properly

secured. An unsecured child seat can

be thrown around the car during a

crash or sudden stop and injure
someone.
