CAUTION:

Children who are up against, or very close to, any

air bag when it inflates can be seriously injured

or killed. Air bags plus lap

-shoulder belts offer

outstanding protection for adults and older

children, but not for young children and infants.

Neither the vehicle’s safety belt system nor its air

bag system is designed for them. Young children

and infants need the protection that a child

restraint system can provide.

Q: What are the different types of add-on

child restraints?

A: Add-on child restraints, which are purchased by

the vehicle’s owner, are available in four basic

types. Selection of a particular restraint should take

into consideration not only the child’s weight,

height and age but also whether or not the restraint

will be compatible with the motor vehicle in which

it will be used.

For most basic types of child restraints, there are

many different models available. When purchasing

a child restraint, be sure it is designed to be used in

a motor vehicle. If it is, the restraint will have a

label saying that it meets federal motor vehicle

safety standards.

The restraint manufacturer’s instructions that come

with the restraint state the weight and height

limitations for a particular child restraint. In

addition, there are many kinds of restraints

available for children with special needs.
