Protecting Children

Placing a Child Seat

This page briefly summarizes Acura's

recommendations on where to place
rear-facing and forward-facing child
seats in your car.

Front Passenger's Seat
Infants:
Never in the front seat, due

to the passenger's airbag hazard.

Small children: Not recommended,

due to the passenger's airbag

hazard. If a small child must ride
in front, move the vehicle seat to
the rear-most position and secure
a front-facing child seat with the

seat belt (see page

34

).

Back Seats
Infants:
Recommended positions.

Secure a rear-facing child seat
with the seat belt (see page

30

) .

Small children: Recommended

positions. Secure a front-facing
child seat with the seat belt (see
page

34

).

Driver and Passenger Safety

Airbags Pose Serious

Risks to Children

The passenger's airbag inflates
with enough force to kill or

seriously injure an infant in a
rear-facing child seat.

A small child in a forward-facing

child seat is also at risk. If the

vehicle seat is too far forward,

or the child's head is thrown
forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can kill or
seriously injure the child.

If a small child must ride in the
front, follow the instructions
provided in this section.
