HONDA 2006 Accord Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 40)

Of the different seats available, we
recommend those that have a five-
point harness system as shown.
A child who is at least one year old,
and who fits within the child seat
maker’s weight and height limits,
should be restrained in a forward-
facing, upright child seat.
If the vehicle seat is too
far forward, or the child’s head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can strike the child
with enough force to cause very
serious or fatal injuries.
We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a back
seat, not the front.
Even with advanced front airbags,
which can automatically turn the
passenger’s front airbag off (see
page
), a back seat is the safest
place for a small child.
We also recommend that a small
child use the child seat as long as
possible, until the child reaches the
weight or height limit for the seat. In any situation, we strongly
recommend that you install the child
seat directly behind the front
passenger’s seat, move the seat as
far forward as needed, and leave it
unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get
a smaller rear-facing child seat.
