Safety in Vehicles for Children
with Special Needs
Obviously, you need to follow all the instructions to make
sure the safety seat you use is installed property and that the
seat you are using is correct for your child's weight and
height.
Here is additional advice if your child has a special
condition:
- Ask your child's doctor about the best position for your
child to be in while being transported in a motor vehicle.
Ask if a standard child restraint or car seat can be used.
- Never try to alter a car safety seat to fit a child with
special needs.
- Never use a car safety seat that has been altered to fit
a child with special needs unless it has been crash tested
with the change.
- Stay up-to-date on what might be available for your
child. New child restraints offer more options every year.
- Keep your child in the type of car safety seat that
gives the most protection until your child reaches the top
weight or height recommended by the manufacturer.
