3-50 Seats and Restraints

Q: What are the different types of

add-on child restraints?

A: Add-on child restraints, which

are purchased by the vehicle

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.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of neck and

head injury during a crash, infants

need complete support. This is

because an infant's neck is not

fully developed and its head

weighs so much compared with

the rest of its body. In a crash,

an infant in a rear-facing child

restraint settles into the restraint,

so the crash forces can be

distributed across the strongest

part of an infant's body, the back

and shoulders. Infants should

always be secured in rear-facing

child restraints.

{

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.
