Many parents say they prefer to put
an infant or a small child in the front
passenger seat so they can watch the
child, or because the child requires
attention.
Placing a child in the front seat
exposes the child to hazards in a
frontal collision, and paying close
attention to a child distracts the
driver from the important tasks of
driving, placing both of you at risk.
Place the largest child in the front
seat, provided the child is large
enough to wear the lap/shoulder
belt properly (see page
).
Move the vehicle seat as far to the
rear as possible (see page
).
Have the child sit upright and well
back in the seat (see page
).
Make sure the seat belt is properly
positioned and secured (see page
).
Your vehicle has two rows of back
seats where children can be properly
restrained. If you ever have to carry
a group of children, and a child must
ride in front:
If a child requires close physical
attention or frequent visual
contact, we strongly recommend
that another adult ride with the
child in a back seat. The back seat
is far safer for a child than the
front.
