- Infants and children should never be held on anyone's lap. Even the strongest adult cannot resist the forces of a collision. - Do not put a seat belt around both a child and another passenger. - NISSAN recommends that all child restraints be installed in the rear seat. Studies show that children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If you must install a forward-facing child restraint in the front seat, see "Forward-facing child restraint installation using the seat belts" later in this section. - Even with the NISSAN Advanced Air Bag System, never install a rearfacing child restraint in the front seat. An inflating air bag could seriously injure or kill a child. A rearfacing child restraint must only be used in the rear seat. - Be sure to purchase a child restraint that will fit the child and vehicle. Some child restraints may not fit properly in your vehicle. - Child restraint anchor points are designed to withstand loads from child restraints that are properly fitted. - Never use the anchor points for adult seat belts or harnesses. - A child restraint with a top tether strap should not be used in the front passenger seat. - Keep seatbacks as upright as possible after fitting the child restraint. - Infants and children should always be placed in an appropriate child restraint while in the vehicle. ● When the child restraint is not in use, keep it secured with the LATCH system or a seat belt. In a sudden stop or collision, loose objects can injure occupants or damage the vehicle. WRS0256 WARNING ● Failure to follow the warnings and instructions for proper use and installation of child restraints could result in serious injury or death of a child or other passengers in a sudden stop or collision: - The child restraint must be used and installed properly. Always follow all of the child restraint manufacturer's instructions for installation and use. CAUTION A child restraint in a closed vehicle can become very hot. Check the seating surface and buckles before placing a child in the child restraint. Safety-Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system 1-17
