If you decide that a child can safely
ride up front, be sure to:

Carefully read the owner’s manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all safety
information.

Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.

Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the floor.

Check that the child’s seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.

Supervise the child. Even mature
children sometimes need to be
reminded to fasten the seat belts
or sit properly.

Of course, children vary widely. And
while age may be one indicator of
when a child can safely ride in the
front, there are other important
factors you should consider.

Physically, a child must be large
enough for the lap/shoulder belt to
properly fit (see page

). If the seat

belt does not fit properly, with or
without the child sitting on a booster
seat, the child should not sit in front.

To safely ride in front, a child must
be able to follow the rules, including
sitting properly, and wearing the seat
belt properly throughout a ride.
