Choosing Uas Or Vehicle Belts - DJG Alpha Omega 65 Manual

D-2 Vehicle Seating Position
Never install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front seat of a vehicle
equipped with an active passenger
side frontal airbag.
In very few vehicles, the child restraint or
booster seat cannot be properly installed
because of the type of seat belt system, airbag
system and/or lack of location to anchor
the tether strap. Always read and follow the
vehicle owner's manual instructions for child
restraint and booster seat use.
Use the child restraint or
booster seat only on vehicle
seats that face forward.
Do not use on seats that
face the sides or rear of
the vehicle. For vehicles
with an airbag, but without
a back seat, refer to your
vehicle owner's manual.
Safety Tip:
Children are safer when
properly restrained in
a rear seating position
than in the front seating
position.
According to accident statistics, children
in rear seating positions are statistically
safer, whether you have airbags, advanced
airbags, or no airbags at all.
