Front Seat Position - Chevrolet 2002 Astro Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in the Right

Front Seat Position

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. 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
restraint in a rear seat.
If your vehicle is a cargo van, do not use a
-
rear facing child restraint in this vehicle.
-
If a forward facing child 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.
