Honda automobile, Owner'S Manual

CONTINUED
In this vehicle, a rearward facing
child restraint system can be placed
in any seating position in the back
seat, but not in the front.
For EU countries, an approved
rearward facing child restraint
system should be placed in any
seating position in the back seat (see
page
).
If the passenger’s front airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
restraint with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant. An infant must be properly
restrained in a rear-facing, reclining
child restraint system until the child
reaches the restraint system maker’s
weight or height limit for the
restraint system, and the child is at
least one year old.
Only a rearward facing child
restraint system provides proper
support for a baby’s head, neck and
back.
Two types of restraints may be used:
a restraint system designed
exclusively for infants, or a
convertible restraint system used in
the rearward facing, reclining mode.
For EU countries, refer to page
for the recommended child
restraint system.
If placed facing forward, an
infant could be very seriously injured
during a frontal collision.
