TION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger's air bag inflates, even though your
vehicle has reduced-force frontal air bags. This is
because the back of a rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating air bag.
Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in a
rear seat.
You may secure a forward-facing child restraint
in the right front seat, but before
you
do, always
move
the front passenger seat
as
far back
as
it
will go. It's better to secure the child restraint in
a rear seat.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move
around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in
the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in your vehicle
--
even when no child is in it.
Top Strap
If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be
anchored. A child restraint with a top strap should only
be used in the second row. If your vehicle has third row
seats, anchor brackets for the second row outside
positions are located just above the place where the third
row lap-shoulder belts meet the floor.
