What is a "child restraint"?
A child restraint is a safety device used to protect children in vehicles. It includes car seats, booster seats, and safety harnesses that are designed to secure a child safely during travel. These restraints help to limit movement in case of sudden stops or accidents, ensuring that the child is kept safe and secure. Depending on the child’s age, weight, and height, different types of restraints are used to provide the best protection. Child restraints are typically installed using the vehicle’s seat belts or a dedicated anchor system.
