Placing a Child Seat
This page briefly summarizes
Honda's recommendations on where
to place rear-facing and forward-
facing child seats in your vehicle.
Airbags Pose Serious
Risks to Children
The passenger's airbag inflates
with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant in a
rear-facing child seat.
A small child in a forward-facing
child seat is also at risk. If the
vehicle seat is too far forward,
or the child's head is thrown
forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can kill or
seriously injure the child.
If a small child must ride in the
front, follow the instructions
provided in this section.
Protecting Children
Front Passenger's Seat
Infants: Never in the front seat, due
to the passenger's airbag hazard.
Small children: Not recommended,
due to the passenger's airbag
hazard. If a small child must ride
in front, move the vehicle seat to
the rear-most position and secure
a front-facing child seat with the
seat belt (see page 34).
Back Seat
Infants: Recommended positions.
Secure a rear-facing child seat
with the seat belt (see page
Small children: Recommended
positions. Secure a front-facing
child seat with the seat belt (see
page 34 ).
