systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and booster cushions. They are classified accord- ing to the child's age and size.

The following section provides general infor- mation on securing a child restraint using a three-point seat belt. Refer to page 47 and page 49 for information on securing a child restraint using ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors and/or top tether anchorages.

A child seat should never be used in the front passenger seat of any vehicle with a front passenger airbag – not even if the PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF symbol near the rear-view mirror is illuminated (on vehi- cles equipped with Occupant Weight Sen- sor). If the severity of an accident were to cause the airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious injury or death to a child seated in this position.

Always refer to the child restraint manufac- turer's instructions for detailed information on securing the restraint.
