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 front passenger
seat. Secure a rear-facing child
restraint in a rear seat.
It is also better to secure a
forward-facing child restraint in a
rear seat. If a forward-facing child

front passenger seat, always move
the front passenger seat as far back
as it will go.
If a child restraint is installed in the
second row center seat, move the
second row seat to the rearward
position, whenever possible, to
minimize contact with the front
center airbag.
Child restraints are devices used to
restrain, seat, or position children in
the vehicle and are sometimes called
child seats or car seats.
There are three basic types of child
restraints:
.
Forward-facing child restraints
.
Rear-facing child restraints
.
Belt-positioning booster seats
The proper child restraint for your
child depends on their size, weight,
and age, and also on whether the
child restraint is compatible with the
vehicle in which it will be used.
For each type of child restraint, there
are many different models available.
When purchasing a child restraint, be
sure it is designed to be used in a
motor vehicle and is certified to
comply with US Federal or Canadian
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. If it
is, the child restraint will have a label
saying that it meets federal motor
vehicle safety standards. The NHTSA
website includes a list of registered
car seat manufacturers (https://
www.nhtsa.gov) and links to their
registration pages for consumers.
Registration helps manufacturers
identify purchasers for recall notices.
