A child who is at least one year old,
and who fits within the child seat
maker’s weight and height limits,
should be restrained in a forward-
facing, upright child seat.
Of the different seats available, we
recommend those that have a five-
point harness system as shown.
We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a back
seat, not the front.
In any situation, we strongly
recommend that you install the child
seat directly behind the front
far forward as needed, and leave it
unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get
a smaller rear-facing child seat.
Even with advanced front airbags,
which can automatically turn the
passenger’s front airbag off (see
page
), a back seat is the safest
place for a small child.

Placing a rear-facing child seat
in the front seat can result in
serious injury or death during a
collision.
Always place a rear-facing child
seat in the back seat, not the
front.
