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.

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

Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.

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

This could result in

serious neck injuries during a crash.

This could cause

very serious injuries during a crash.
It also increases the chance that the
child will slide under the belt in a
crash and be injured.

If they do, they could

be very seriously injured in a crash.

Devices intended to improve a

child’s comfort or reposition the
shoulder part of a seat belt can make
the belt less effective, and increase
the chance of serious injury in a
crash.

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