Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position

If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System)
on page 1-40. See Top Strap
on page 1-38 if your child restraint has one.

There is no top strap anchor in the right front
passenger’s position. Do not secure a child seat in
this position if a national or local law requires that the
top strap be anchored, or if the instructions that
come with the child restraint say that the top strap
must be anchored.

Your vehicle has a right front passenger airbag.
Never put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat.
Here is why:

{

CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s airbag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating airbag.
Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in
a rear seat.

A rear seat is a safer place to secure a forward-facing
child restraint.
