For that reason, be sure to secure ALL types of child restraint
devices (including forward facing child seats) in the REAR seats
at all times. You should choose a restraint device which is
appropriate for the child’s age, height and weight. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.

SINCE YOUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGER’S
SRS AIRBAG, DO NOT INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD
SAFETY SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING
THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat at all
times. Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front
passenger’s seat. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
force and can injure or even kill the child.
