Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position

Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear

facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:

CAUTION:

A child in a rear

facing child restraint can be

seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates. This is because the
back of the rear

facing child restraint would be

very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure
a rear

facing child restraint in the rear seat.

Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
forward

facing child restraint in the right front seat.

You’ll be using the lap

shoulder belt. See the earlier

part about the top strap if the child restraint has one.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the
child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint
when and as the instructions say.

1. Because your vehicle has a right front passenger air

bag, always move the seat as far back as it will go
before securing a forward

facing child restraint.

See “Seats” in the Index.

2. Put the restraint on the seat.
