CAUTION:
A
very young child’s hip bones are
so
small that a
regular belt might not stay low on the hips, as it
should. Instead, the belt will likely be over the
child’s abdomen. In a crash, the belt would apply
force right on the child’s abdomen, which could
cause serious or fatal injuries. Smaller children
and babies should always be restrained in a child
restraint. However, infants, who should be
restrained in a rear-facing child restraint, cannot
ride safely in this vehicle. The instructions for the
restraint will say whether it is the right type and
size for your child.
If
a
forward-facing child
restraint
is
suitable for your child, be sure the
child
is
always properly restrained while riding in
this vehicle.
Never hold a baby in your arms while riding in
