In any of these situations, we
strongly recommend that you install
the child seat in a different back
seating position or get a smaller rear-
facing child seat.

Child Seat Type
A child who is at least one year old,
and who fits within the child seat
maker's weight and height limits,
should be restrained in a forward-
facing, upright child seat.
Of the different seats available, we
recommend those that have a five-
point harness system as shown.
Placing a forward-facing child
seat in the front seat can result
in serious injury or death if the
front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-
facing child seat in front, move
the vehicle seat as far back as
possible, and properly restrain
the child.
We also recommend that a small
child uses the child seat as long as
possible, until the child reaches the
weight or height limit for the seat.
