Placing a Child Seat
This page briefly summarizes
Honda’s recommendations on where
to place rear-facing and forward-
facing child seats in your vehicle.

Airbags Pose Serious

Risks to Children

The passenger’s airbag inflates
with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant in a
rear-facing child seat.

A small child in a forward-
facing child seat is also at risk.
If the vehicle seat is too far
forward, or the child’s head is
thrown forward during a
collision, an inflating airbag can
kill or seriously injure the child.

If a small child must ride in the
front, follow the instructions
provided in this section.

Front Passenger’s Seat

Infants: Never in the front seat,
due to the passenger’s airbag
hazard.

Small children: Not
recommended, due to the
passenger’s airbag hazard. 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

31

).

Back Seats

Infants: Recommended positions.
Properly secure a rear-facing child
seat (see page

27

).

Small children: Recommended
positions. Properly secure a
front-facing child seat (see page

31

).
