Safety Of Infants And Small Children - Honda Acura TSX Sport Wagon 2011 Owner's Manual

Safety of Infants and Small Children

Protecting Infants
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the
infant reaches the seat maker's weight or height limit for the seat, and the infant is
at least one year old.
When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front
passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back
in the desired position.
It can also interfere with proper operation of the passenger's advanced front
airbag system.

Î
If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the
front passenger's seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it
unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
Positioning a rear-facing child seat
Child seats must be placed and secured in a
rear seating position.

WARNING
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front
seat can result in serious injury or death
during a crash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the
rear seat, not the front.
Rear-facing child seats should never be installed in a
forward facing position.
Always refer to the child seat manufacturer's
instructions before installation.
