Installing child restraint systems
Observe the child restraint system manufacturer's instructions when selecting, installing and using child restraint systems. Otherwise, the protective effect may be diminished.
Standard child restraint systems are designed to be secured with a lap belt or with the lap-belt section of a lap-and-shoulder belt. Incorrectly
or improperly installed child restraint systems can increase the risk of injury to children. Always follow the installation instructions for the system with the greatest care.
