CHILD SAFETYChildren need adults to help protectthem. They need to be properly restrained.In addition to the general information inthis manual, child safety information isavailable from many other sources, including doctors, teachers, governmenttraffic safety offices, and community organizations. Every child is different, so besure to learn the best way to transportyour child.There are three basic types of child restraint systems:ORear-facing child restraintOFront-facing child restraintOBooster seatThe proper restraint depends on thechild’s size. Generally, infants (up toabout 1 year and less than 20 lb (9 kg)should be placed in rear-facing child restraints. Front-facing child restraints areavailable for children who outgrow rearfacing child restraints and are at least 1year old. Booster seats are used to helpposition a vehicle lap/shoulder belt on achild who can no longer use a front-facingchild restraint.WARNINGInfants and children need special protection. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fitthem properly. The shoulder belt may cometoo close to the face or neck. The lap beltmay not fit over their small hip bones. Inan accident, an improperly fitting seat beltcould cause serious or fatal injury. Alwaysuse appropriate child restraints.All US states and provinces of Canada require the use of approved child restraintsfor infants and small children. (See “Childrestraints” later in this section.)Also, there are other types of child restraints available for larger children foradditional protection.INFINITI recommends that all pre-teensand children be restrained in the rearseat if possible. According to accidentstatistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than inthe front seat.This is especially important because yourvehicle has a supplemental restraint system (air bag system) for the front passenger. See “Supplemental RestraintSystem” later in this section for precautions.InfantsInfants up to at least one year old shouldbe placed in a rear-facing child restraint.INFINITI recommends that infants beplaced in child restraints that comply withFederal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards orCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.You should choose a child restraint thatfits your vehicle and always follow themanufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.Small childrenChildren that are over one year old andweigh between 20 lbs (9 kg) and 40 lbs(18 kg) can be placed in a forward facingchild restraint. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for minimum andmaximum weight and height recommendations. INFINITI recommends that smallchildren be placed in child restraints thatcomply with Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Canadian Motor VehicleSafety Standards. You should choose achild restraint that fits your vehicle and1-12 Safety — Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint systemZ 04.10.21/V35-D/V5.0 X

always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use.Larger childrenChildren who are too large for child restraints should be seated and restrainedby the seat belts which are provided. Theseat belt may not fit properly if the childis less than 4 feet 9 inches (142.5 cm) talland weighs between 40 lbs (18 kg) and80 lbs (36 kg). A booster seat should beused to obtain proper seat belt fit.INFINITI recommends that a child beplaced in a commercially availablebooster seat if the shoulder belt in thechild’s seating position fits close to theface or neck or if the lap portion of theseat belt goes across the abdomen. Thebooster seat should raise the child sothat the shoulder belt is properly positioned across the top, middle portion ofthe shoulder and the lap belt is low onthe hips. A booster seat can only be usedin seating positions that have a threepoint type seat belt. The booster seatshould fit the vehicle seat and have alabel certifying that it complies with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards orCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.Once the child has grown so the shoulderbelt is no longer on or near the face andneck, use the shoulder belt without thebooster seat.THREE-POINT TYPE SEAT BELTWITH RETRACTORWARNINGWARNINGNever let a child stand or kneel on any seatand do not allow a child in the cargo areaswhile the vehicle is moving. The child couldbe seriously injured or killed in an accidentor sudden stop.OOPREGNANT WOMENINFINITI recommends that pregnantwomen use seat belts. The seat beltshould be worn snug, and always positionthe lap belt as low as possible around thehips, not the waist. Place the shoulderbelt over your shoulder and across yourchest. Never run the lap/shoulder beltover your abdominal area. Contact yourdoctor for specific recommendations.OEvery person who drives or rides in thisvehicle should use a seat belt at alltimes.Do not ride in a moving vehicle whenthe seatback is reclined.
