SAFETY SEATS FOR CHILDREN

Child and infant or child safety seats

Use a safety seat that is recommended for the size and weight of the
child. Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions with the
safety seat you put in your vehicle. If you do not install and use the
safety seat properly, the child may be injured in a sudden stop or
collision.

When installing a child safety seat:

Review and follow the information
presented in the

Airbag

Supplemental Restraint System
(SRS)

section in this chapter.

Use the correct seat belt buckle
for that seating position (the
buckle closest to the direction the
tongue is coming from).

Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle until you hear a
snap and feel it latch. Make sure the tongue is securely fastened in the
buckle.

Keep the buckle release button pointing up and away from the safety
seat, with the tongue between the child seat and the release button,
to prevent accidental unbuckling.

Place seat back in upright position.

Put the seat belt in the automatic locking mode. Refer to

Automatic

locking mode

.

Mazda recommends the use of a child safety seat having a top tether
strap. Install the child safety seat in a seating position which is capable
of providing a tether anchorage. For more information on top tether
straps, refer to

Attaching child safety seats with tether straps.

WARNING: Carefully follow all of the manufacturer’s
instructions included with the safety seat you put in your
vehicle. If you do not install and use the safety seat properly,
the child may be injured in a sudden stop or collision.

The rear seat head restraint must be removed when using a child
seat.
