Child Safety
QRG
Protecting Larger Children
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Honda recommends that you
TOC
do not carry a child age 12 or under as a passenger. This is because children
who have outgrown child seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by
an inflating passenger's front airbag. If a larger child must ride in this vehicle,
the information in the following pages provides guidelines to help you decide when
a given child may ride in this vehicle, and how to properly protect the child.
Checking Seat Belt Fit
■
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in the passenger's seat
using the lap/shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back in
the seat, then answer the following questions.
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder
seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs a booster seat.

Protecting Larger Children
■ Checklist
Do the child's knees bend comfortably over
●
the edge of the seat?
Does the shoulder belt cross between the
●
child's neck and arm?
Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as
●
possible, touching the child's thighs?
Will the child be able to stay seated like this
●
for the whole trip?
Protecting Larger Children
Allowing a child age 12 or under to
ride in the vehicle can result in injury
or death if the passenger's front airbag
inflates.
If a larger child must ride in the vehicle,
move the vehicle seat as far back as
possible, and use a booster seat if
needed. Have the child sit up and wear
the seat belt properly.
