Child Safety Important Safety Reminders Never hold a baby or child on your lap when riding in a car. If you are wearing your seat belt, the violent forces created during a crash will tear the child from your arms. The child could be seriously hurt or killed. If you are holding a child and not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could crush the child against the car's interior. Never put your seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child causing serious internal injuries. Two children should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash. General Guidelines for Restraining Children Under 40 Ibs. (18kg) Use an approved child seat. The seat must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS-213) or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Look for the manufacturer's statement of compliance on the box and seat. Use a seat of the right size. Make sure the seat fits your child. Check the seat's instructions and labels for height and weight limits. Secure the child seat to the car. All approved child seats are designed to be secured in the car seat by the lap belt or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the car can be endangered in a crash. To properly route a seat belt through a child seat, follow the seat-maker's instructions. If you use a lap/shoulder belt, be sure you install a locking clip on the belt (see page 22). Secure the child in the child seat. Make sure the infant or child is firmly secured to the child seat. Use the straps provided, and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. Driver and Passenger Safety
