Warning

A young child's hip bones are still
so small that the vehicle's regular
safety belt may not remain low on
the hip bones, as it should.
Instead, it may settle up around
the child's abdomen. In a crash,
the belt would apply force on a
body area that is unprotected by
any bony structure. This alone
could cause serious or fatal
injuries. To reduce the risk of
serious or fatal injuries during a
crash, young children should
always be secured in appropriate
child restraints.

Child Restraint Systems

Rear-Facing Infant Seat

A rear-facing infant seat provides
restraint with the seating surface
against the back of the infant.

The harness system holds the infant
in place and, in a crash, acts to
keep the infant positioned in the
restraint.

Forward-Facing Child Seat

A forward-facing child seat provides
restraint for the child's body with the
harness.
