HONDA 2010 Odyssey - Manual (Page 46)

An infant must be properly
restrained in a rear-facing, reclining
child seat until the child reaches the
seat maker’s weight or height limit
for the seat, and the child is at least
one year old.
If the passenger’s front airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
child seat with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant.
When properly installed in the
second row, a rear-facing child seat
may prevent the driver or a front
passenger from moving their seat as
far back as recommended, or from
locking their seat-back in the desired
position.
If placed
facing forward, an infant could be
very seriously injured during a
frontal collision.
Two types of seats may be used: a
seat designed exclusively for infants,
or a convertible seat used in the rear-
facing, reclining mode.
Only a rear-facing child seat provides
proper support for a baby’s head,
neck, and back.
A rear-facing child seat can be placed
in any seating position in the second
or third row, but not in the front.
It could also interfere with proper
operation of the passenger’s
advanced front airbag system.
