Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position Although a rear seat is a safer place, you can secure a forward-facing child restraint in the right front seat. You'll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier part about the top strap if the child restraint has one. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say. 1. Your vehicle has a right front passenger's air bag. If your vehicle has the Automatic Occupant Sensor (AOS) system and you're using a rear-facing child restraint in this seat, make sure the air bag is turned off by looking at the status indicator in the rearview mirror before you drive. See "Automatic Occupant Sensor (AOS) System" in the Index for more on this, including important safety information. If your vehicle doesn't have the AOS system and you're using a forward-facing child restraint, always move the seat as far back as it will go before securing it in this seat. See "Seats" in the Index. 2. Put the restraint on the seat. Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Unless your vehicle has the Automatic Occupant Sensor (AOS) system, never put a rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here's why: CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's air bag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be very close to the inflating air bag. Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in the rear seat. 1-49
