Subaru Legacy Outback 2006 Owner's Manual page 52

Right-hand drive vehicles
A: Front passenger's seat
Do not install a child restraint system (in-
cluding a booster seat) due to the passen-
ger's airbag hazard.
B: Rear seat, window-side seating po-
sitions
Recommended positions for all types of
child restraint systems.
In these positions, Automatic/Emergency
Locking Retractor (A/ELR) seatbelts and
ISOFIX anchor bars are provided for in-
stalling a child restraint system.
Top tether anchorages are also provided
for these positions.
Some types of child restraints might not
be able to be secured firmly due to projec-
tion of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.
C: Rear seat, center seating position
Installing a child restraint system is not
recommended, although the A/ELR seat-
belt and a top tether anchorage (if
equipped) are provided in this position.
Some types of child restraints might not
be able to be secured firmly due to projec-
100128
tion of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
Secure ALL types of child re-
straint devices (including forward
facing child seats) in the REAR
seats at all times. The SRS airbag
deploys with considerable speed
and force and can injure or even
kill children, especially if they are
not restrained or improperly re-
strained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from de-
ployment is greater. According to
accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in
the front seating positions.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. DO-
ING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY
PLACING THE CHILD'S HEAD
TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIR-
BAG.
