Subaru 2002 Legacy Owner's Manual page 69

(including those in child seats and those that have outgrown
child restraint devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at
all times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is
appropriate for the child's age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward
facing child seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions.
For instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint
system, see the "Child restraint systems" section in this chapter.
D NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD'S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
D Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front pas-
senger's seat, or never hold a child on your lap or in your arms.
The SRS airbag deploys with considerable force and can injure or
even kill the child.
Put children in the REAR seat prop-
erly restrained at all times.
