CHILD RESTRAINTS FOR INFANTS AND SMALL CHILDREN WARNING Infants and small children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint while riding in the vehicle. Failure to use a child restraint can result in serious injury or death. Children and infants should never be carried on your lap. It is not possible for even the strongest adult to resist the forces of a severe accident. The child could be crushed between the adult and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not put the same seat belt around both your child and yourself. In general, child restraints are designed to be installed with a lap belt or the lap portion of a three-point type seat belt. An improperly installed child restraint could lead to serious injury or death in an accident. Child restraints specially designed for infants and small children are offered by several manufacturers. When selecting any child restraint, keep the following points in mind: 1) Choose only a restraint with a label certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. 2) Check the child restraint in your vehicle to be sure it is compatible with the vehicle's seat belt system. 3) If the child restraint is compatible with your vehicle, place your child in the child restraint and check the various adjustments to be sure the child restraint is compatible with your child. Always follow all of the recommended procedures. WARNING ● Do not install a child restraint in the jump seats (King Cab model). These seats are not suitable for child restraint installation. ● Follow all of the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for installation and use. When purchasing a child restraint, be sure to select one which will fit your child and vehicle as it may not be possible to properly install some types of child restraints in your vehicle. 2-22 ● Improper use of a child restraint can result in increased injuries for both the infant or child and other occupants in the vehicle. ● When your child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with a seat belt to prevent it from being thrown forward in case of a sudden stop or accident. ● Remember that a child restraint left in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing your child in the child restraint. ● All U.S. states and provinces of Canada require that infants and small children be restrained in an approved child restraint at all times while the vehicle is being operated. ● After attaching the child restraint, test it before you place the child in it. Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it forward and check to see if the belt holds the restraint in place. If the restraint is not secure, tighten the belt as necessary, or put the restraint in another seat and test it again.

WARNING
Infants and small children should al-
ways be placed in an appropriate child
restraint
while
riding
in
the
vehicle.
Failure to use a child restraint can re-
sult in serious injury or death.
Children and infants should never be
carried on your lap. It is not possible for
even the strongest adult to resist the
forces of a severe accident. The child
could be crushed between the adult
and parts of the vehicle. Also, do not
put the same seat belt around both
your child and yourself.
In
general,
child
restraints
are
de-
signed to be installed with a lap belt or
the lap portion of a three-point type
seat belt.
An
improperly
installed
child
restraint
could lead to serious injury or death in an
accident.
Child restraints specially designed for in-
fants
and
small
children
are
offered
by
several manufacturers. When selecting any
child restraint, keep the following points in
mind:
1) Choose only a restraint with a label cer-
tifying that it complies with Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Cana-
dian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
2) Check the child restraint in your vehicle
to be sure it is compatible with the vehi-
cle’s seat belt system.
3) If the child restraint is compatible with
your vehicle, place your child in the child
restraint and check the various adjust-
ments to be sure the child restraint is
compatible with your child. Always follow
all of the recommended procedures.
WARNING
Do not install a child restraint in the
jump seats (King Cab model). These
seats are not suitable for child re-
straint installation.
Follow
all
of
the
child
restraint
manufacturer’s instructions for in-
stallation and use. When purchasing
a child restraint, be sure to select
one which will fit your child and
vehicle as it may not be possible to
properly install some types of child
restraints in your vehicle.
Improper use of a child restraint can
result in increased injuries for both
the infant or child and other occu-
pants in the vehicle.
When your child restraint is not in
use, keep it secured with a seat belt
to prevent it from being thrown for-
ward in case of a sudden stop or
accident.
Remember that a child restraint left
in a closed vehicle can become very
hot. Check the seating surface and
buckles before placing your child in
the child restraint.
All
U.S.
states
and
provinces
of
Canada
require
that
infants
and
small children be restrained in an
approved child restraint at all times
while the vehicle is being operated.
After
attaching
the
child
restraint,
test it before you place the child in it.
Tilt it from side to side. Try to tug it
forward and check to see if the belt
holds the restraint in place. If the
restraint is not secure, tighten the
belt as necessary, or put the restraint
in another seat and test it again.
