PRECAUTIONS ON CHILD RE-
STRAINTS
WARNING
.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use and installa-
tion of child restraints could result in
serious injury or death of a child or other
passengers in a sudden stop or collision:
— The child restraint must be used and
installed properly. Always follow all
of the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions for installation and use.
— Infants and children should never be
held on anyone’s lap. Even the
strongest adult cannot resist the
forces of a collision.
— Do not put a seat belt around both a
child and another passenger.
— INFINITI recommends that all child
restraints be installed in the rear
seat. Studies show that children are
safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat. If you
must install a forward-facing child
restraint in the front seat, see “For-
ward-facing child restraint installa-
tion using the seat belts” (P.1-34).
— Even with the INFINITI Advanced Air
Bag System, never install a rear-
facing child restraint in the front
seat. An inflating air bag could
seriously injure or kill a child. A
rear-facing child restraint must only
be used in the rear seat.
— Be sure to purchase a child restraint
that will fit the child and vehicle.
Some child restraints may not fit
properly in your vehicle.
— Child restraint anchor points are
designed to withstand loads from
child restraints that are properly
fitted.
— Never use the anchor points for
adult seat belts or harnesses.
— A child restraint with a top tether
strap should not be used in the front
passenger seat.
— Keep seatbacks as upright as pos-
sible after fitting the child restraint.
— Infants and children should always
be placed in an appropriate child
restraint while in the vehicle.
.
When the child restraint is not in use,
keep it secured with the LATCH system or
a seat belt. In a sudden stop or collision,
loose objects can injure occupants or
damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
A child restraint in a closed vehicle can
become very hot. Check the seating surface
and buckles before placing a child in the
child restraint.
This vehicle is equipped with a universal
child restraint anchor system, referred to
as the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers
for CHildren) system. Some child restraints
include rigid or webbing-mounted attach-
ments that can be connected to these
anchors.
For details, see “Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) System” (P.1-
24).
If you do not have a LATCH compatible child
restraint, the vehicle seat belts can be
used.
