Seating and safety restraints
CHILDREN AND SAFETY
RESTRAINTS
Rear-facing child seats or
infant carriers should never
be placed in the front seats.
To reduce the risk of injury,
make sure children sit
where they can be properly
restrained.
Always transport children
12 years old and under in
the back seat and always use
appropriate child restraints.
Accident statistics indicate that
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats.
Do not leave children,
unreliable adults, or pets
unattended in your vehicle.
Safety belts and seats can
become hot in a vehicle that
has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small
child. Check seat covers and
buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
