Child restraints
Infant seat
There are three main types of child restraint
systems: infant seats, convertible seats, and
booster cushions. They are classified accord-
ing to the child's age and size.
The following section provides general infor-
mation on securing a child restraint using a
three-point seat belt. Refer to pages pages
47–49 for information on securing a child
restraint using ISOFIX/LATCH lower anchors
and/or top tether anchorages.

Convertible seat
WARNING
A child seat should never be used in the
front passenger seat of any vehicle with a
front passenger airbag – not even if the
Passenger airbag off symbol near the rear-
view mirror is illuminated (on vehicles equip-
ped with Occupant Weight Sensor). If the
severity of an accident were to cause the
airbag to inflate, this could lead to serious
injury or death to a child seated in this posi-
tion.
WARNING
Always refer to the child restraint manufac-
turer's instructions for detailed information
on securing the restraint.
