or a front passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their
seat-back in the desired position.

1Protecting Infants
Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing child
restraint system for a child up to two years old, if the
child's height and weight are appropriate for a rear-
facing child restraint system.
If the passenger's front airbag inflates, it can hit the
rear-facing child restraint system with great force,
which can dislodge or strike the system, and seriously
injure the child.
Rear-facing child restraint systems should never be
installed in a front facing position.
Always refer to the child restraint system
manufacturer's instructions before installation.
Models with passenger front airbag off system
If it is absolutely unavoidable to install a rear-facing
child restraint system in the front passenger seat,
manually turn off the passenger front airbag system.
