facing child seat in the front
seat can result in serious injury
or death if the front airbags
inflate.
If you must place a forward-
facing child seat in front, move
the vehicle seat as far back as
possible and properly restrain
the child.
If it is necessary to put a forward-
facing child seat in the front, move
the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, be sure the child seat is
firmly secured to the vehicle, and the
child is properly strapped in the seat.
