position where the child restraint is being installed → Securing a
child restraint with the Top Tether strap .
The airbag on the passenger side makes the front seat a potentially
dangerous place for a child to ride. The front seat is not the safest
place for a child in a forward-facing child restraint. It is a very
dangerous place for an infant or a larger child in a rearward-facing
seat.
You must take special precautions when installing a child restraint
with the vehicle safety belt or with LATCH/UCRA lower universal
anchorages behind the front passenger seat or behind the driver
seat. Always route the center safety belt and the unused safety belt
for the seating position where the child restraint is being installed
securely out of the child’s reach. Securing the safety belts will help
prevent a child from playing with an unused safety belt and
becoming entangled with it → Using a child restraint on the rear
seat , → Fig. 74 .
Not using a child restraint, using the wrong child restraint or
improperly installing a child restraint increases the risk of serious
personal injury and death in a collision or other emergency
situation.
