held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the

LATCH child restraint anchor system. Refer to “Lower

Anchors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)”.

WARNING!

Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in
the front seat of a vehicle with the front passenger air
bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe
injury or death to infants in this position.

Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who have outgrown

their rear-facing convertible child seat can ride forward-

facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and

convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direc-

tion are for children who are over two years old or who

have outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit of

their rear-facing convertible child seat. Children should

remain in a forward-facing child seat with a harness for

as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height

allowed by the child seat. These child seats are also held

in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH

child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “Lower An-

chors and Tether for CHildren (LATCH)”.
All children whose weight or height is above the

forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a

belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts

fit properly. If the child cannot sit with knees bent over

the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against

the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster

seat. The child and belt-positioning booster seat are held

in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.
Children Too Large For Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt

comfortably and whose legs are long enough to bend

over the front of the seat when their back is against the

seatback should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
