Many parents say they prefer to
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.
Your vehicle has a back seat where
children can be properly restrained.
If you ever have to carry a group of
children, and a child must ride in
front:
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 ) .
If a child requires close physical
attention or frequent visual contact,
we strongly recommend that another
adult ride with the child in the back
seat. The back seat is far safer for a
child than the front.

Close Attention
put an infant or a small child in the
front passenger seat so they can
watch the child, or because the
child requires attention.
