Safety of Larger Children
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Honda recommends that you do
not carry a child age 12 or under as a passenger. This is because children
who have outgrown child seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by
an inflating passenger’s front airbag. If a larger child must ride in this vehicle,
the information in the following pages provides guidelines to help you decide when
a given child may ride in this vehicle, and how to properly protect the child.
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in the passenger’s seat using
the lap/shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then
answer the following questions.
■ Checklist
• Do the child's knees bend comfortably over
the edge of the seat?
• Does the shoulder belt cross between the
child's neck and arm?
• Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as
possible, touching the child's thighs?
• Will the child be able to stay seated like this
for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder
seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a
booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without a booster seat.

3 WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in
the vehicle can result in injury or death if
the passenger's front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in the vehicle,
move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, have the child sit up properly and
wear the seat belt properly, using a booster
seat if needed.
