CHILD RESTRAINTS
Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seats rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to or call 1-866-SEATCHECK.

Installing Child Restraints In Commercial Vehicles
This commercial vehicle is not designed for use as a family vehicle and is not
intended for carrying children in the front passenger seat(s). Never install rearward-
facing child restraints in this vehicle. Although the seat belt can be locked to secure
a child restraint, there are no tether anchorages to complete the proper installation
of a forward-facing child restraint. If you must carry a child in a forward-facing child
restraint, the passenger seat should be moved to the full rearward position and the
child must be in a proper restraint system based on its age, size and weight. Follow
the instructions below to secure the child restraint using the seat belt.
WARNING!
Rearward-facing infant restraints must never be secured in the passenger seat of
a vehicle with a passenger Air Bag. In a collision, a passenger Air Bag may deploy
causing severe injury or death to infants riding in rearward-facing infant restraints.
