25 Choosing a Vehicle Seating Location cont’d
General Guidelines:
• Never secure this car seat rear-facing
in a seating location with a front air bag
(Figure A). Check your vehicle owner’s
manual regarding all other air bag
locations and compatibility with child
restraints.
• Never secure the car seat in a vehicle
seating location unless recommended
by the vehicle owner’s manual.
• Only install the car seat in forward-
facing vehicle seats. Never install the
car seat in side-facing or rear-facing
vehicle seats (Figure B & C).
• Never secure the car seat in vehicle
seating locations where the vehicle
seat back does not lock in an upright
position.
In addition, the center-rear seating location is considered the best location if ALL
the following conditions are met:
þ
Installation in this seating location is permitted by the vehicle manufacturer.
þ
LATCH belt or vehicle seat belt provides a secure installation and remains
tightly adjusted around the car seat,
þ The vehicle seat contour allows the car seat to be properly leveled once
installed,
þ
If the vehicle seat back is adjustable, the vehicle seat back is locked into the
upright position.
If all of these conditions are not met, install the car seat in a different seating
location.
After you have chosen a seating location, follow the car seat information in your
vehicle owner’s manual, and the instructions in this manual, for installation using
LATCH or a vehicle seat belt.
