forward during a collision, an inflating airbag
can strike the child and possibly cause serious
or fatal injuries.
If a small child absolutely must ride in the
front, to reduce the risk of injury be sure to
move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, secure the child seat to the vehicle
with the seat belt, and strap the child in the
child seat according to the child seat maker's
instructions.
We also recommend that children who
have outgrown child seats sit in the back seat
and wear a lap/shoulder belt. If a child
slouches, scoots forward on the seat, leans
forward, turns sideways or puts their feet up
on the back of the seat in front of them, their
chance of being injured in any kind of crash
is greatly increased.
In addition, if a child is out of position in
the front seat, the child could be seriously or
fatally injured if they are struck by an
inflating airbag. If a larger child must sit in
the front, move the vehicle seat as far back as
possible, have the child sit up straight with
their back against the seat, and make sure the
seat belt is properly and securely fastened.
With or without airbags, toddlers and
larger children are safer when they are
properly restrained in the back seat.
