If You Must Drive with Several
Children
Your vehicle has two rows of back
seats where children can be properly
restrained. If you ever have to carry a
group of children, and a child must
ride in front:
●
Place the largest child in the front
seat, provided the child is large
enough to wear the lap/shoulder
belt properly (see page
●
Move the vehicle seat as far to the
rear as possible (see page
●
Have the child sit upright and well
back in the seat (see page
●
Make sure the seat belt is properly
positioned and secured (see page
If a Child Requires Close
Attention
Many parents say they prefer to put
an infant or a small child in the front
passenger seat so they can watch the
child, or because the child requires
attention.
Placing a child in the front seat
exposes the child to hazards in a
frontal collision, and paying close
attention to a child distracts the
driver from the important tasks of
driving, placing both of you at risk.
If a child requires close physical
attention or frequent visual contact,
we strongly recommend that another
adult ride with the child in a back
seat. The back seat is far safer for a
child than the front.
