A forward − facing child restraint sys-
tem should be allowed to put on
the front seat only when it is un-

Make sure that you have complied
with all installation instructions pro-
vided by the child restraint
manufacturer and that the system is
properly secured.
—Child restraint system
A child restraint system for a small
child or baby must itself be properly
restrained on the seat with the lap por-
tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You must
carefully consult the manufacturer’s in-
structions which accompany your child
restraint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a child
restraint system following the manufactur-
er’s instructions about the appropriate age
and size for the child for the restraint
system.
Install the child restraint system correctly
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer of the system. General di-
rections also provided under the following
illustrations.
The child restraint system should be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear seat than
in the front seat.
CAUTION

straint system on the front seat. In

Unless it is unavoidable, do not put
a child restraint system on the
front seat.

tem should be allowed to put on
the front seat only when it is un-
avoidable. Always move the seat as
