Installing a Child Seat, Protecting Larger Children

Protecting Larger Children

When a child reaches the
recommended weight or height limit
for a forward-facing child seat, the
child should sit in a back seat on a
booster and wear a lap/shoulder belt.
The following pages provide
guidelines to help you decide when a
given child may ride in front, and
how to properly protect the child.
Allowing a larger child age 12 or
under to sit in front can result in
injury or death if the passenger's
front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front,
move the vehicle seat as far
back as possible, use a booster
seat if needed, and have the
child sit up properly and wear
the seat belt properly.
