A child who is at least 1 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.
In either situation, we strongly
recommend that you install the child
seat directly behind the front
passenger seat, move the seat as far
forward as needed, and leave it
unoccupied. Or you may wish to get
a smaller rear-facing child seat.
If the vehicle seat is too
far forward, or the child’s head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can strike the child
with enough force to cause very
serious or fatal injuries.
We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a back
seat, not the front.
We also recommend that a small
child use the child seat as long as
possible, until the child reaches the
weight or height limit for the seat.

Placing a forward-f acing child seat in
the front seat of a vehicle equipped
with a passenger’s airbag can be
hazardous.
