Rear Seating Positions are Safest
According to accident statistics, i n a vehicle with rear designated
seating positions, children are safer when properly restrained i n
rear seating positions than i n front seating positions. Use only rear
seating positions equipped with three point lap-shoulder belts.
As a rule, if a lap-shoulder seat belt is available, use the rear middle
position. Otherwise, the second choice is the rear outboard position,
on the curb side. If the vehicle has only l a p belts i n the rear, do not
use this restraint on the rear seat.
