To determine if a lap/shoulder belt
properly fits a child, have the child
put on the seat belt, then ask
yourself:
Does the child sit all the way back
against the seat?
Do the child’s knees bend
comfortably over the edge of the
seat?
Your vehicle has an automatic cutoff
system for the passenger’s side
airbag if a child leans sideways and
the child’s head is in the deployment
path of the side airbag. Even if with
this system, Honda does not
encourage children to ride in the
front.

Leaning over the front door
can result in serious injury or
death if the side airbag
inflates.
Always sit upright with their
back against the seat-back.
Allowing a child age 12 or
under to sit in front can result
in injury or death if the
passenger’s front airbag
inflates.
If a child must ride in front,
move the vehicle seat as far
back as possible, use a
booster seat if needed, have
the child sit up properly and
wear the seat belt properly.
