Where to Put the Restraint

According to accident statistics, children and infants

are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint

system or infant restraint system secured in a rear

seating position.

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.

A label on the sun visor says, “Never put a rear-facing

child seat in the front.” This is because the risk to

the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys.

{ CAUTION:

A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be

seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger

airbag inﬂates. This is because the back of the

rear-facing child restraint would be very close to

CAUTION: (Continued)

the inﬂating airbag. A child in a forward-facing

child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if

the right front passenger airbag inﬂates and the

passenger seat is in a forward position.

Even if the passenger sensing system or airbag

switch has turned off the right front passenger

frontal airbag, no system is fail-safe. No one can

guarantee that an airbag will not deploy under

some unusual circumstance, even though it is

turned off.

Secure rear-facing child restraints in a rear

seat, even if the airbag is off. If you secure a

forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat,

always move the front passenger seat as far back

as it will go. It is better to secure the child restraint

in a rear seat.
