Safety gear
Check rear door child locks, window controls and child restraint fit before family trips. Plan adult access, safe exits and secure cabin storage.
1
Use rear door child locks and window locks as your handbook directs, alongside a correctly fitted child restraint. Locks do not replace supervision or restraint.
Follow the restraint maker’s instructions. Bulky clothing can prevent a close harness fit; provide warmth without changing the approved restraint arrangement.
An adult should take responsibility for the controls, restraint checks and safe exit plan.
Use only attachments permitted by the seat maker. Hard or improvised attachments can interfere with the restraint or become loose objects.
Stop in a safe place to assess and help them. Seek medical care when symptoms are serious or concerning; do not loosen their restraint while moving.
