Car Seat
Safety
for Kids
Car seats for babies and young
children have been around for
over 20 years. Even though car seats
have been around for a long time,
most parents still get confused
and frustrated when installing
their children¡¯s car seats.
2. Harness fit is important. Retainer clips
should be at armpit level. Straps
should be snug: you should not be
able to pinch any slack. Use lower
shoulder slots for rear facing car seats.
Use upper shoulder slots for forward
facing car seats.
What is the best car seat to use?
3. Read the instructions that come with
your car seat. They will help you use
the car seat correctly.
The answer to this question comes in
three parts:
1. One that fits your child ¨C car seats
are designed for children of different
ages, weights and seated heights.
Always remember:
1. NEVER place a rear facing car seat in
front of an air bag! This can cause
death or severe injury! Babies need
to ride rear facing until at least 12
months of age AND must weigh
20 pounds. Both benchmarks need to
be in place before they can be turned
forward facing.

2. One that fits your car ¨C car seats fit
differently in many models of cars and
trucks. The shape of the vehicle seat,
the seat belt system and the size of
the car seat will affect how well the
car seat can be installed.
3. One that you will use correctly
ALL THE TIME ¨C car seats have many
different features. All car seats must
meet the same federal testing
standard. The most expensive car seat
may not be the best choice for you.
It is important to buy a car seat that
works best for you, your child and
your vehicle.

The Phoenix Fire Department
strongly discourages used car seats!
Used seats can have cracks, sun damage
or missing parts. The average life of a car
seat in Arizona is five years. Your child¡¯s
life is worth a new seat!
Car seats and seat belts that have been
involved in crashes NEED TO BE
REPLACED! Contact your insurance
company about replacing these items.

Asientos
de
seguridad
para los
ni?os
Los asientos para carros para los beb¨¦s
y ni?os peque?os han existido por m¨¢s
de 20 a?os. Y aunque han estado por
mucho tiempo, muchos padres de
familia todav¨ªa se confunden y
frustran cuando instalan el asiento
de sus ni?os en el carro.
?Cu¨¢l es el mejor asiento?
La respuesta para esta pregunta tiene
tres partes:
1. El que le queda a sus ni?os ¨C los
asientos est¨¢n dise?ados para ni?os de
varias edades, pesos y altura.
2. El que le queda a su carro ¨C la
instalaci¨®n de los asientos es diferente
en cada carro y camioneta. La forma
del asiento del veh¨ªculo, el sistema de
citurones y el tama?o del asiento para
el ni?o influenciar¨¢ en c¨®mo se
instalar¨¢ el asiento.
3. El que usted usar¨¢ correctamente
TODO EL TIEMPO ¨C Los asientos de
seguridad tienen diferentes
caracter¨ªsticas, pero todos los asientos
deben de tener el mismo criterio federal.
El asiento m¨¢s caro puede que no sea el
mejor para usted. Es importante comprar
un asiento que funcione para usted, su
hijo/a y su veh¨ªculo.
Recuerde siempre:
Programa de
Seguridad para la Vida
1. NUNCA coloque un asiento mirando
hacia atr¨¢s al frente de una bolsa de
aire porque podr¨ªa causar muerte o
lesiones serias. Los beb¨¦s necesitan
viajar viendo hacia atr¨¢s hasta que
tengan los 12 meses de edad y deben
de pesar 20 libras. Ambas situaciones
deben de cumplirse antes de que
puedan viajar viendo hacia adelante.
2. El ajuste de las fajas es importante. El clip
de retenci¨®n debe de ir a la altura de las
axilas. Las fajas tienen que ir ajustadas:
que no se pueda pellizcar nada flojo.
Use las ranuras bajas para los asientos
que miran hacia atr¨¢s. Use las ranuras m¨¢s
altas para los asientos que van viendo
hacia adelante.
3. Lea las instrucciones que trae el asiento,
le ayudar¨¢n a usar el asiento de
seguridad correctamente.
Estudie el manual del veh¨ªculo, le ayudar¨¢
a instalar correctamente el asiento en su
veh¨ªculo.

Phoenix firmemente recomienda no
usar asientos usados. Los asientos

el sol o les pueden faltar partes. La vida de
