Our recommendation: Children
always in the rear
Always properly restrain children in
the vehicle. Children of all ages are
safer when riding in the rear seats.
Never place a rearward-facing Child
Restraint System on the front pas

senger seat, unless the air bag is
deactivated.
Children under age 13 should always
ride in the rear seats and must
always be properly restrained to
minimise the risk of injury in an
accident, sudden stop or sudden
manoeuvre.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats than in
