Seats and Restraints
Also see “Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides” under Lap-Shoulder Belt on
page 3‑17.
According to accident statistics,
children and infants are safer when
properly restrained in a child
restraint system or infant restraint
system secured in a rear seating
position.
In a crash, children who are not
buckled up can strike other people
who are buckled up, or can be
thrown out of the vehicle. Older
children need to use safety belts
properly.
{
WARNING
Never allow more than one child
to wear the same safety belt.
The safety belt cannot properly
spread the impact forces. In a
crash, they can be crushed
together and seriously injured.
A safety belt must be used by
only one person at a time.
{
WARNING
Never allow a child to wear the
safety belt with the shoulder belt
behind their back. A child can be
seriously injured by not wearing
the lap-shoulder belt properly.
In a crash, the child would not be
restrained by the shoulder belt.
The child could move too far
forward increasing the chance
of head and neck injury.
