Protecting Small Children - Acura 2005 MDX Owner's Manual

Main Menu Table of Contents
In any situation, we strongly
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.
Placing a rear-facing child seat
in the front seat can result in
serious injury or death during a
collision.
Always place a rear-facing child
seat in the back seat, not the
front.

Protecting Small Children

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.
Protecting Infants and Small Children
Child Seat Placement
We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a back
seat, not the front.
Even with advanced front airbags,
which can automatically turn the
passenger's front airbag off (see
page 33 ), a back seat is the safest
place for a small child.
