Children are safer when properly
restrained in rear seating
positions than in the front
seating positions.

information, children in rear seating positions are statisti-
cally safer, whether you have air bags, advanced air bags, or
no air bags at all.
To avoid your child being seriously burned, take the follow-
ing precautions:
1.
Park in the shade or where sun does not directly hit the child
restraint.
2.
Cover the child restraint with a sheet or blanket when not in use.
3.
Check for hot seat and buckles before placing child in child

To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from damage, use a
single layer towel underneath and behind child restraint.
