If You Must Drive With Several Children; If A Child Requires Close Attention - Honda 2007 TSX Owner's Manual

If You Must Drive with Several
Children
Your vehicle has a back seat where
children can be properly restrained.
If you ever have to carry a group of
children, and a child must ride in
front:
Place the largest child in the front
seat, provided the child is large
enough to wear the lap/shoulder
belt properly (see page 51
Move the vehicle seat as far to the
rear as possible (see page
Have the child sit upright and well
back in the seat (see page
Make sure the seat belt is properly
positioned and secured (see page
15 ).
If a Child Requires Close
Attention
Many parents say they prefer to put
an infant or a small child in the front
passenger seat so they can watch the
child, or because the child requires
attention.
Placing a child in the front seat
exposes the child to hazards in a
frontal collision, and paying close
). attention to a child distracts the
driver from the important tasks of
driving, placing both of you at risk.

Protecting Children
If a child requires close physical
attention or frequent visual
contact, we strongly recommend
that another adult ride with the
child in a back seat. The back seat
is far safer for a child than the
front.
