Child Restraints

Be sure to follow the instructions for the restraint, You may find these instructions on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both. These restraints use the belt system in your vehicle, but the child also has to be secured within the restraint to help reduce the chance of personal injury.

Where to Put the Restraint
