Securing the Child Within the Child
Restraint
{
CAUTION:
A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash
if the child is not properly secured in the child
restraint. Secure the child properly following the
instructions that came with that child restraint.
Where to Put the Restraint
Accident statistics show that children are safer if they
are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat.
We recommend that children and child restraints
be secured in a rear seat, including: an infant or a child
riding in a rear-facing child restraint; a child riding in
a forward-facing child seat; an older child riding in
a booster seat; and children, who are large enough,
using safety belts.
Air Suspension Seats
{
CAUTION:
A child restraint cannot be secured properly in an
air-suspension type seat. This is because an
air-suspension seat is designed to move up and
down for an adult passenger. Do not use a child
restraint in an air-suspension seat.
If your vehicle is a regular cab model with an
air-suspension seat in the right front passenger’s
position, there is no place in your vehicle to secure a
child restraint. The only answer is to have infants
and young children make the trip in another vehicle,
where they can get the protection they need.
Bucket or Bench Seats
If your vehicle is a regular cab model with a bucket or
bench seat in the right front passenger’s position,
the child restraint must be secured properly.
If your vehicle has airbags and you need to secure a
child restraint in the right front passenger’s seat, there is
a switch on the instrument panel that you can use to
turn off the passenger’s airbag. See Airbag Off Switch
on page 1-55 and Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position on page 1-44 for more on this,
including important safety information.
