For CPST availability in Canada, check with Transport Canada or the Provincial Ministry of Transportation office. Whenever possible, children age 12 and under should be secured in a rear seating position. If a child restraint is secured in the front outboard passenger seat, and the vehicle has a switch on the instrument panel to manually turn off the front outboard passenger airbag, see Airbag On-Off Switch on page 3-22 and Securing Child Restraints (Front Seat-Airbag On/Off Switch) on page 3-51 or Securing Child Restraints (Front Seat-Passenger Sensing System) on page 3-48 or Securing Child Restraints (Rear Seat) on page 3-46 for more information, including important safety information. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front. This is because the risk to the rear-facing child is so great, if the airbag deploys. Children can be endangered in a crash if the child restraint is not properly secured in the vehicle. When securing an add-on child restraint, refer to the instructions that come with the restraint which may be on the restraint itself or in a booklet, or both, and to this manual. The child restraint instructions are important, so if they are not available, obtain a replacement copy from the manufacturer. Keep in mind that an unsecured child restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in the vehicle - even when no child is in it. In some areas of the United States and Canada, Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs) are available to inspect and demonstrate how to correctly use and install child restraints. In the U.S., refer to the National Highway Traffic Safety Securing the Child Within the Child Restraint { Warning A child can be seriously injured or killed in a crash if the child is not properly secured in the child restraint. Secure the child properly following the instructions that came with that child restraint. Where to Put the Restraint According to accident statistics, children and infants are safer when properly restrained in a child restraint system or infant restraint system secured in a rear seating position.
