the 6 rules for installing a child in a car
To limit risks in the event of sudden braking or collision, it is important to respect the following 6 rules.
Put the child in their seat
Never drive with a child on an adult’s knee. It is impossible to restrain the child in the event of sudden braking.
Use one seat belt per person/child
Each child must have their own seat in the car. One seat belt should not be used for two seats. Thus, each child should have an individual restraint system.
Do not drive with a child in a front baby carrier or sling
This system is particularly dangerous both for the adult and the child. A child must travel strapped into their car seat or on a booster seat.
Fasten the seat belt correctly
There must be no space between the child’s body and the strap. Check that the strap is not behind or under the child’s arm and does not run along the armrests of the booster seat.
Choose a suitable seat
Restraint systems - seat, booster seat, straps - must be adapted to the size and morphology of each child. Solutions exist for every age, size and weight. Never seat the child on a cushion.
Remove their coat
Avoid excessively thick clothes.
the 7 rules for fastening a seat belt correctly
Whether you are the driver or a passenger, wearing your seat belt is mandatory and vital for travelling in complete safety.
Remove your coat
Never wear a coat! If you are wearing thick clothes, pass the seat belt underneath them.
Adjust your backrest
Tilt it approximately 20° in relation to the vertical position.
Position the headrest
Adjust it! The top of your head should be aligned with the top of the headrest.
Buckle up
You know the saying: “clunk, click, every trip”!
Adjust your seat
Adjust your seat for an optimal driving position, then adjust the height of your seat belt (strap in the middle of your shoulder).
Pull your seat belt taut
Pull on the strap to eliminate any play and limit space between your body and the seat belt.
Protect your abdomen
Check that the seat belt is positioned on the top of your thighs, not on your stomach. This reduces the risk of internal abdominal injuries in the event of a collision in which you slide under the belt.
