Warning!
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front
seating position. Thus, we strongly
recommend that children be placed in the
rear seats whenever possible. Regardless
of seating position, children 12 years old
and under must be seated and properly
secured in an appropriate infant restraint,
toddler restraint, or booster seat
recommended for the size and weight of the
child.
The infant or child restraint must be
properly secured with the vehicle’s seat
belt, the seat belt and top tether strap, or
lower anchors and top tether strap, fully in
