Stage One: Rear-Facing Infant Seat

When
Use a rear-facing infant seat from birth until your baby is about 1 year old.

The longer you use a rear-facing infant seat that fits correctly, even past one year, the safer your child will be in a crash. Check the infant seat label for the weight and height limits and follow the infant seat instructions for use.
  
Why
Babies have relatively large heads and weak neck muscles. An infant seat cradles a baby抯 head to protect it against sudden stops or turns. Infant seats are placed "backwards" so that in a collision, the back of the infant seat takes the force of the impact.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Instructions
Secure your baby properly in the infant seat and make sure that the harness straps are snug.

Using the vehicle seat belt or the Universal Anchorage System (UAS), buckle the infant seat into the rear seat ?the "Kid Zone" ?facing the rear.

Double check the seat belt or UAS to make sure the infant seat is installed according to instructions.



Tips
If you need to attend to your baby, find a safe place to pull over and park.

Never ride with a baby or a child in your arms or on your lap.

Do not put an infant seat in a seat equipped with an air bag. Serious injuries or death may result if the air bag inflates.

Stage Two: Forward-Facing Child Seat

When
Use a forward-facing child seat from 10 kg (22 lb.) until 18 kg (40 lb.), generally from about age 1 to 4 1/2 years.

Some child seats can be used longer ?until your child weighs 22 kg (48 lb.). Follow the guidelines in the instruction booklet and on the label of your child seat.
  
Why
A properly installed forward-facing child seat is safe and effective because its three different parts work together. The harness absorbs the forward motion of the child at the moment of impact. The vehicle seat belt or Universal Anchorage System (UAS) keeps the base in place. Finally, the tether strap secures the top of the child seat to the vehicle.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Instructions
Place the forward-facing child seat in the rear seat of the vehicle ?the "Kid Zone".

Follow the vehicle and child seat instructions to install the child seat securely using the vehicle seat belt or Universal Anchorage System (UAS).

The vehicle instructions will tell you where the tether strap anchors are located in the vehicle.

Attach the hook of the child seat tether strap to the tether strap anchor of the vehicle.

Secure your child in the child seat and adjust the harness snugly.



Tips
Make sure you use the tether strap.
Read the instruction booklet that comes with the child seat. Keep it handy so you can refer to it as your child grows.
Don抰 rush to move your child from a child seat to a booster seat.

Stage Three: Booster Seat

When
Use a booster seat from 18 kg (40 lb.), generally from about age 4 1/2 to 8 years.
Children are ready to use a booster seat when they are over the maximum weight or height for their child seat ?but no sooner than this! Check the instruction booklet of your booster seat for additional information.
  
Why
For this age group, booster seats are the safest way to position a seat belt correctly over a child抯 body. An incorrectly positioned seat belt can cause a child to be seriously injured or even killed in a sudden stop or collision.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Instructions
Place the booster seat in the rear seat of the vehicle ?in the "Kid Zone."

Using the vehicle seat belt, buckle your child in properly, with the lap belt low and snug over the hips and the shoulder belt across the chest.



Tips

Buckle an empty booster seat into place or remove it from the vehicle. You don抰 want it to fly around dangerously in a sudden stop or collision.
Never tuck the shoulder belt behind the child or under the arm. Doing so could result in serious injury or death.
Don抰 rush to move your child from a booster seat to a vehicle seat belt.

Stage Four: Seat Belt

When
Use the vehicle rear seat and seat belt (ideally with a shoulder belt) from the time your child has outgrown the booster seat, from about age 8.

Children at this stage are ready to use the vehicle seat belt. Kids aged 12 or under, however, must be seated in the rear of the vehicle ?in the 揔id Zone?

Why
The lap and shoulder parts of the seat belt work together to keep both the lower and upper body secure in a sudden stop or collision. Seating your child in the rear of the car, the 揔id Zone,?keeps your young passenger furthest away from a front-end collision ?and as far away as possible from the front-seat air bags, which can be dangerous for kids 12 or under.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Instructions
Place your child in the rear seat of the vehicle ?the "Kid Zone".

Buckle the seat belt.

Position the lap portion of the seat belt low and snug across the hips, never across the stomach.

Position the shoulder belt over the shoulder and across the chest.



Tips

Special kits are available to have shoulder belts installed in most older vehicles that lack them. Check with the vehicle manufacturer.
Set a good example! Make sure you and all adults in the vehicle are also properly belted.
Never tuck the shoulder belt behind the child or under the arm. Doing so could result in serious injury or death.
