In a 2012 Chevrolet Express seven-seat model, a rear-facing child restraint should not be installed in the front seat if the vehicle does not have a rear seat that can accommodate it. The safest place to secure a child restraint is in the rear seat, away from an active airbag. If a child restraint must be placed in the front seat, and the vehicle has a passenger airbag on/off switch, the airbag should be turned off. However, securing a child seat in a position without a top tether anchor is not allowed if laws or instructions require it.
