Essential Safety Equipment
Child Restraint
Form No. 8R65-EA-03C
Holding a Child While the Vehicle is Moving:
Holding a child in your arms while the vehicle is moving is extremely dangerous. No
matter how strong the person may be, he or she cannot hold onto a child in a sudden
stop or collision and it could result in serious injury or death to the child or other
occupants. Even in a moderate accident, the child may be exposed to air bag forces
that could result in serious injury or death to the child, or the child may be slammed
into the adult, injuring the adult. Always secure a child in a proper child-restraint
system.
Rear-Facing Child-Restraint System:
Rear-facing child-restraint systems on the front seat are particularly dangerous.
The child-restraint system can be hit by a deploying air bag and moved violently
backward resulting in serious injury or death to the child. NEVER use a rear-facing
child-restraint system in the front seat with an air bag that could deploy.
Front Passenger’s Seat Position:
If your vehicle is equipped with a passenger air bag, a front-facing child-restraint
system should only be put on the front seat when it is unavoidable. Always move the
seat as far back as possible, because the force of a deploying air bag could cause
serious injury or death to the child.
