Protecting Infants and Small Children Protecting Small Children We also recommend that a small child use the child seat until the child reaches the weight or height limit for the seat. Child Seat Placement We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a back seat, not the front. Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger's airbag can be hazardous. If the vehicle seat is too Driver and Passenger Safety far forward, or the child's head is thrown forward during a collision, an inflating airbag can strike the child with enough force to cause very serious or fatal injuries. Child Seat Type A child who is at least 1 year old, and who fits within the child seat maker's weight and height limits, should be restrained in a forward-facing, upright child seat. Of the different seats available, we recommend those that have a fivepoint harness system as shown. Even with advanced front airbags, which can automatically turn the passenger's front airbag off (see page 27 ), a back seat is the safest place for a small child. CONTINUED 41
