Where to Put the Restraint Accident statistics show that children are safer if they are restrained in the rear rather than the front seat. We, therefore, recommend that child restraints be secured in a rear seat, including an infant riding in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding in a forward-facing child seat and an older child riding in a booster seat. If you need to secure a child restraint in the right front passenger's seat, there is a switch on the instrument panel that you can use to turn off the passenger's air bag. See Airbag Off Switch on page 1-65 and Securing a Child Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position on page 1-54, for more on this including important safety information.

Be sure to properly secure any child restraint in your vehicle - even when no child is in it. {CAUTION: A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously injured or killed if the right front passenger's airbag inflates. This is because the back of the rear-facing child restraint would be CAUTION: (Continued) 1-42
