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.

child-restraint systems, vehicle seats

may not fit all seating positions. Before
purchasing a child-restraint system, it
should be tested in the specific vehicle

purchased child-restraint system does
not fit, you may need to purchase a
different one that will.
