Section 7 - Selecting A Vehicle Seating Location

1The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) alerts vehicle owners that according to accident statistics, children up to age 12 are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions rather than front seating positions.

2Refer to vehicle owner’s manual for car seat installation instructions for your vehicle.

-Use car seat in a rear vehicle seat location whenever possible.

DO NOT place rear-facing child seat on front seat with air bag. DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY can occur.

The back seat is the safest place for children 12 and under.

WARNING

-Never put a car seat in a front seat location unless recommended by vehicle owner’s manual.

NO coloque el asiento infantil para el automóvil orientado hacia atrás en el asiento delantero del vehículo que tenga una bolsa neumática de seguridad. El niño podría MORIR O SUFRIR LESIONES GRAVES. El asiento trasero es el lugar más seguro para los niños de 12 años o menores.

-For vehicles with air bags, always follow child restraint installation information provided in vehicle owner’s manual.

3DO NOT use car seat on vehicle seats which face the side (fig. a) or face the rear (fig. b) of the vehicle.
