9-B Choosing Vehicle Seat Location
The best seating location for this car seat is one that:
• Is recommended by your vehicle owner’s manual, and
• Results in a secure installation of this car seat
In the event there is no available back seat and / or you have no other
option than to place a child other than an infant in a rear-facing car seat
in a front passenger seating position, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) recommends that you take the following steps:
• Ensure the child is properly restrained according to their age and size
• Move the seat as far back as possible
• Make sure the child is not leaning out of position, such as leaning
forward into the deployment path of the air bag
• Set the air bag ON-OFF switch, if available, to the OFF position
• Move the seat as far back as possible
