Securing
a
Child
Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
n
Your vehicle has a front passenger air bag.
Never
put a
rear facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:

t
a rear-facing child restraint can
be seriously injured or killed if the front
passenger’s air bag inflates. This
is
because
the back
of
the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close
to
the inflating air bag.
Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in
a rear seat.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat.
You’ll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part
about the
top
strap
if
the child restraint has one.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the
child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint
when and as the instructions say.
1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger’s
air bag, always move the seat as far back as it will
go before securing a forward-facing child restraint.
