CAUTION:
Never
do
this.
Children
who
are
up
against,
or
very
close
to,
any
airbag
when
it
inflates
can
be
seriously
injured
or
killed.
Never
put
a
rear-facing
child
restraint
in
the
right
front
seat.
Secure
a
rear-facing
child
restraint
in
a
rear
seat.
It
is
also
better

forward-facing
child
restraint
in
a
rear
seat.
If
you
must
secure
a
forward-facing
child
restraint
in
the
right

seat
as
far
back
as
it
will
go.
