In any of these situations, we
strongly recommend that you install
the child seat directly behind the
front passenger's seat, move the seat
as far forward as needed, and leave it
unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get
a smaller rear-facing child seat.

Placing a rear-facing child seat
in the front seat can result in
serious injury or death during a
crash.

Always place a rear-facing child
seat in the back seat, not the
front.

Protecting Small Children

Child Seat Type

Many states, Canadian provinces and
territories allow a child one year of age
or older who also meets the minimum
size and weight requirements to
transition from a rear-facing child seat
to a forward facing seat. Know the
requirements where you are driving
and follow the child seat instructions.
Many experts recommend use of a
rear-facing seat up to age two, if the
child's height and weight are
appropriate for a rear-facing seat.

Of the different seats available, we
recommend those that have a five-
point harness system as shown.

We also recommend that a small child
use the child seat until the child
reaches the weight or height limit for
the seat.
