If You Must Drive with Several
Children
Your vehicle has a back seat where
children can be properly restrained.

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
Move the vehicle seat as far to the
rear as possible (see pages
100 ).
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
14 ).

an infant or a small child in the front

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 the back
seat. The back seat is far safer for a
child than the front.
