• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in
the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger
airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe
injury or death to infants in this position.
• Rearward-facing child seats and infant carriers must
NEVER be used while the second row Swivel 'n Go
seats are in the rearward facing position.
WARNING!
Never place any child seat or infant carrier in the
Swivel 'n Go seat while it is in the rearward facing
position. The swivel seat should be locked in the
forward position when using any child seat or infant
carriers, with the vehicle in motion. Failure to do so
could result in serious injury or even death.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 79
Older Children and Child Restraints
Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are
older than one year can ride forward-facing in the
vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child
seats used in the forward-facing direction are for children
who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older
than one year. These child seats are also held in the
vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LATCH child
restraint anchorage system. Refer to "Lower Anchors and
Tether for CHildren (LATCH)" later in this section.
An aftermarket belt-positioning booster seat is for children
weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small
to fit the vehicle's seat belts properly. If the child can not sit
with knees bent over the vehicles seat cushion while the
child's back is against the seat back, they should use a
belt-positioning booster seat. The child and booster seat are
held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt. (Some booster
seats are equipped with a front shield and are held in the
vehicle by the lap portion.)
