 Child-Restraint System Types

In this owner's manual, explanation of 

child-restraint systems is provided for the 

following three types of popular child-

restraint systems: infant seat, child seat, 

booster seat.

NOTE



  Installation position is determined 

by the type of child-restraint system. 

Always read the manufacturer's 

instructions and this owner's manual 

carefully.



  Due to variations in the design of child-

restraint systems, vehicle seats and 

seat belts, all child-restraint systems 

may not fit all seating positions. Before 

purchasing a child-restraint system, it 

should be tested in the specific vehicle 

seating position (or positions) where it 

is intended to be used. If a previously 

purchased child-restraint system does 

not fit, you may need to purchase a 

different one that will.

Infant seat

An infant seat provides restraint by 

bracing the infant's head, neck and back 

against the seating surface.

Child seat

A child seat restrains a child's body using 

the harness.

Booster seat

A booster seat is a child restraint accessory 

designed to improve the fit of the seat belt 

system around the child's body.
