Family Car Checklist
Take this checklist with you when you go shopping for a vehicle.
 |
- Are there enough safety belts for everyone?
- Can the vehicle’s lap and shoulder belts fit children who have outgrown child safety seats?
- Will a child be sitting in a booster seat?
- Is there enough room in the rear seat to install child safety seats correctly?
- Does the vehicle have lower anchors and tethers (LATCH) for a child safety seat?
- Can the vehicle manufacturer provide retrofit tether anchor kits?
- If the vehicle has a bench seat or bucket seat design, will it interfere with child safety seat installation? (Check slopes, humps, contours, seat splits, and forward-anchored belts.)
- Do safety belts have locking features (locking or switchable retractor) for child safety seats?
- Are adjustable shoulder belts available?
- Are built-in child restraint systems available?
| |
- Head restraint protection for rear seats (to reduce rearward head movement).
- Safety door locks (so children cannot open doors from inside the vehicle).
- Override window controls (driver controls the windows).
