Protecting Infants

Child Restraint System Type

An infant must be properly
restrained in a rear-facing, reclining
child restraint system until the child
reaches the restraint system maker's
weight or height limit for the
restraint system, and the child is at
least one year old.

Protecting Infants and Small Children

Only a rearward facing child
restraint system provides proper
support for a baby's head, neck and
back.
Two types of restraints may be used:
a restraint system designed
exclusively for infants, or a
convertible restraint system used in
the rearward facing, reclining mode.
For EU countries, refer to page
47 for the recommended child
restraint system.

infant could be very seriously injured
during a frontal collision.
Rearward Facing Child Restraint
System Placement
A rearward facing child restraint
system can be placed in any seating
position in the back seat, but not in
the front.
Never put a rearward
facing child restraint system in the
front seat.
For EU countries, an approved
rearward facing child restraint
system should be placed in any
seating position in the back seat (see
page 47 ).
If the passenger's front airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
restraint with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant.
