Front Seat Position - Chevrolet 1999 Express Van Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in the Right

Front Seat Position

1-56
If your vehicle has a front passenger air bag, never put a
-
rear facing child restraint in this seat. Here's why:
CAUTION:
-
A child in a rear facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the front passenger's
air bag inflates, even though your vehicle has
Next Generation frontal air bags. This is because
-
the back of the rear facing child restraint would
be very close to the inflating air bag. If your
vehicle is a passenger van, always secure a
-
rear
facing child restraint in a rear seat.
If your vehicle is a cargo van with a right front
passenger air bag, do not use a rear
restraint in this vehicle. If a forward
restraint is suitable for your child, always move
the passenger seat as far back as it will go.
Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a
-
forward facing child restraint in the right front seat.
