Child Safety
We recommend that, whenever
possible, you put the infant seat in
the center position of the rear seat
and secure it to the car with the lap
belt.
If you decide to put an infant seat in
any other seating position, make
sure the infant seat is held securely
by the locking mechanism of the
lap/shoulder belt (see page
25
).
We strongly recommend that you do
not put an infant seat in the front
passenger's seat. If the airbag
inflates, it can hit the infant seat with
great force. The infant seat can be
dislodged or struck with enough
force to cause very serious injury to
the infant.
Restraining a Child Who Weighs
Between 9 and 18 kg
(20 and 4 0 Ibs)
Toddler seats are designed for
children who weigh between 9 and
18 k g (20 and 40 Ibs).
The preferred place to put a toddler
seat is in the center position of the
rear seat. Use the car's lap belt to
secure the seat to the car.
If you decide to put a toddler seat in
an outside seating position, make
sure the toddler seat is held securely
by the locking mechanism of the
lap/shoulder belt (see page
25
).
If you are using a toddler seat in the
front passenger's seat, move the
passenger's seat as far back as
possible before installing the child
seat. If the passenger's bag inflates,
it could seriously hurt a toddler who
is not in the proper position or
properly restrained.
