Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
Your vehicle has a front passenger air bag. Never put a
rear
-
facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
CAUTION:
A child in 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. If your vehicle is a
passenger van, always secure a rear
-
facing child
restraint in a rear seat.
If your vehicle is a cargo van, do not use a
rear
-
facing child restraint in this vehicle.
If a forward
-
facing child restraint is suitable
for your child, always move the passenger seat
as far back as it will go.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward
-
facing child restraint in the right front seat.
