Child Safety Children depend on adults to protect them. To help make sure we do, every state and Canadian province has laws requiring infants and young children to be properly restrained whenever they ride in a car. An infant or child who is not properly restrained can be killed or seriously injured in a crash. Be sure any child too small for seat belts is properly secured in a child restraint. Where Should Children Sit? According to accident statistics, children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are properly restrained in the rear seat rather than the front seat. We recommend that, whenever possible, you secure your child's infant or toddler seat in the center position of the rear seat with the lap belt. For cars with passenger airbags, we strongly recommend that you do not put an infant seat in the front passenger seat. If the airbag inflates, it can hit the seat with great force. The infant seat can be dislodged and the baby seriously injured. We also recommend that any child who is too large to use an infant or toddler seat ride in one of the outside positions of the rear seat. The child should then wear the lap/shoulder belt properly for protection. (cont'd)

Child Safety
Children depend on adults to protect them. To help make sure we
do, every state and Canadian province has laws requiring infants
and young children to be properly restrained whenever they ride in a
car.
An infant or child who is not properly restrained can be killed or
seriously injured in a crash.
Be sure any child too small for seat belts is properly secured in a
child restraint.
Where Should Children Sit?
According to accident statistics, children of all sizes and ages are
safer when they are properly restrained in the rear seat rather than
the front seat.
We recommend that, whenever possible, you secure your child's
infant or toddler seat in the center position of the rear seat with the
lap belt.
For cars with passenger airbags, we strongly recommend that you
do not put an infant seat in the front passenger seat. If the airbag
inflates, it can hit the seat with great force. The infant seat can be
dislodged and the baby seriously injured.
We also recommend that any child who is too large to use an infant
or toddler seat ride in one of the outside positions of the rear seat.
The
child
should
then
wear
the
lap/shoulder
belt
properly
for
protection.
