HONDA 2003 Odyssey - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 35)

This page briefly summarizes
Honda’s recommendations on where
to place rear-facing and forward-
facing child seats in your vehicle.
Recommended positions.
Properly secure a rear-facing child
seat (see page
).
Recommended
positions. Properly secure a front-
facing child seat (see page
).
To help prevent airbag-caused
deaths and injuries to children,
this vehicle has an advanced
airbag system.
With this system, the front
passenger’s airbag is turned off
if sensors detect a total weight
of less than about 65 lbs (30 kg)
in the seat.
Even if the front passenger’s
airbag is turned off, we strongly
recommend that infants and
small children ride properly
restrained in a back seat where
they will be safer.
Not recommended. If
a small child must ride in front,
move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position and secure a front-
facing child seat with the seat belt
(see page
).
Never in the front seat, due
to the front airbag hazard. Not
recommended.
