Seats and Restraints 3-57 Securing Child Restraints (Center Front Seat Position) For vehicles without rear seats, manufacturers are required to provide top tether anchors for all non-driver seating positions and instructions for using those anchors. Even if a top tether anchor is available, you should not install a child restraint in the center front seating position. { WARNING A child in a child restraint in the center front seat can be badly injured or killed by the frontal airbags if they inflate. Never secure a child restraint in the center front seat. It is always better to secure a child restraint in a rear seat. In addition, some larger child restraints, if installed in the center front seating position, may interfere with access to the driver and right front passenger safety belt buckles. See Safety Belts on page 3‑11 for information, including warnings, about the importance of safety belt use. If the vehicle does not have rear seats, rear-facing child restraints should not be installed in the vehicle, even if the passenger airbag is off. If a child in a forward-facing child restraint must be transported in a vehicle that does not have rear seats, the child restraint should be secured in the right front seat position. See "Securing Child Restraints (Right Front Seat Position)" later in this section, for instructions on how to install a child restraint in the right front seat position. Do not secure a child seat in a position without a top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that the top tether be anchored. In Canada, the law requires that forward‐facing child restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be attached.
