Never let a passenger hold a child on

moving. The passenger cannot  
protect the child from injury in a crash,  
which may result in serious injury or death.  
Never use pillows, books, or towels  
to boost a child. They can slide  
around and increase the likelihood  
of injury or death in a crash.  
Always carefully follow the  
instructions and warnings provided  
by the manufacturer of any child  
restraint to determine if the restraint device  
is appropriate for your child's size, height,  
weight, or age. Follow the child restraint  
manufacturer's instructions and warnings  
provided for installation and use in  
conjunction with the instructions and  
warnings provided by your vehicle  
manufacturer. A safety seat that is  
improperly installed or utilized, is  
inappropriate for your child's height, age,  
or weight or does not properly fit the child  
may increase the risk of serious injury or  
death.  
Always restrain an unoccupied child  
seat or booster seat. These objects  
may become projectiles in a crash or  
sudden stop, which may increase the risk  
of serious injury.  
Never place, or allow a child to place,  
the shoulder belt under a child's arm  
or behind the back because it  
reduces the protection for the upper part  
of the body and may increase the risk of  
injury or death in a crash.  
To avoid risk of injury, do not leave  
children or pets unattended in your  
vehicle.
