l Choose a child restraint system that suits your vehicle and is
appropriate to the age and size of the child.

Types of child restraints
Child restraint systems are classified into the following 3 types
according to the age and size of the child.
Rear facing
⎯ Infant seat/convertible seat
A child restraint system for a small child or baby must itself be prop-
erly restrained on the seat with the lap portion of the lap/shoulder
belt.
The laws of all 50 states of the U.S.A. and Canada now require the
use of child restraint systems.
