Where To Place A Child Restraint System - Subaru Outback 2016 Manual

& Where to place a child
restraint system
WARNING
. Secure ALL types of child re-
straint devices (including for-
ward facing child seats) in the
REAR seats at all times. The SRS
airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if
they are not restrained or impro-
perly restrained. Because chil-
dren are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured
from deployment is greater. Ac-
cording to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Child restraint systems
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seat-
ing positions.
. NEVER INSTALL A FORWARD
OR REARWARD FACING CHILD
SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSEN-
GER'S SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD'S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
