Protecting Children

Placing a Child Seat

This page briefly summarizes

Honda's recommendations on where
to place rear-facing and forward-

facing child seats in your car.

Front Passenger's Seat
Infants:
Never in the front seat, clue

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

34

).

Back Seats

Infants: Recommended positions.

Secure a rear-facing child seat

with the seat belt (see page

30

).

Small children: Recommended

positions. Secure a front-facing

child seat with the seat belt (see

page

34

).

Driver and Passenger Safety

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.
