A child who is at least 1 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.

Of the different seats available, we
recommend those that have a five-
point harness system as shown.

We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a back
seat, not the front.

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.

In either situation, we strongly
recommend that you install the child
seat directly behind the front
passenger 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.

Child Seat Placement

Placing a f orward-f acing child seat in
the f ront seat of a vehicle equipped
with a passenger’s airbag can be
hazardous.

36

Placing a rear-facing child seat
in the front seat can result in
serious injury or death if the
passenger’s front airbag inflates.

Always place a rear-facing child
seat in the back seat, not the
front.
