• You are required by law to properly use
safety seats for infants and toddlers in
the United States and Canada.
• Many states and provinces require that
small children use approved booster
seats until they reach age eight, a height
of 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall, or
80 lb (36 kg). Check your local and state
or provincial laws for specific
requirements about the safety of children
in your vehicle.
• When possible, always properly restrain
children 12 years of age and under in a
rear seating position of your vehicle.
Accident statistics suggest that children
are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in a front
seating position. See Front Passenger
Sensing System (page 49).
INSTALLING CHILD RESTRAINTS
Child Seats
E142594
Use a child safety seat (sometimes called an
infant carrier, convertible seat, or toddler
seat) for infants, toddlers, or children
weighing 40 lb (18 kg) or less (generally age
four or younger).
Using Lap and Shoulder Belts
WARNINGS
Do not place a rearward facing child
restraint in front of an active airbag.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury or death.
Properly secure children 12 years old
and under in a rear seating position
whenever possible. If you are unable to
properly secure all children in a rear seating
position, properly secure the largest child on
the front seat. If you must use a forward
facing child restraint on the front seat, move
the seat as far back as possible. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in
personal injury or death.
Depending on where you secure a
child restraint, and depending on the
child restraint design, you may block access
to certain seatbelt buckle assemblies and
LATCH lower anchors, rendering those
features potentially unusable. To avoid risk
of injury, make sure occupants only use
seating positions where they are able to be
properly restrained.
