Placing a Child Seat

to place rear-facing and forward-
facing child seats in your car.
Front Passenger's Seat
Infants: Never in the front seat, due
to the front airbag hazard.
Small children: Not recommended,
due to the front 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,
).
Back Seats
Infants: Recommended positions.
Secure a rear-facing child seat
).
Small children: Recommended
positions. Secure a front-facing
child seat with the seat belt, (see
).
Driver and Passenger Safety
CONTINUED
Airbags Pose Serious
Risks to Children
The passenger's front 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 front airbag can kill or
seriously injure the child.
If a small child must ride in the
front, follow the instructions
provided in this section.
