To achieve the desired reclining
angle, it may help to put a rolled up
towel under the toe of the child seat,
as shown.
For proper protection, an infant must
ride in a reclined, or semi-reclined
position. To determine the proper
reclining angle, check with the baby’s
doctor or follow the seat maker’s
recommendations.
We also recommend that a small
child stay in the child seat as long as
possible, until the child reaches the
weight or height limit for the seat.
In this car, the best place to install a
forward-facing child seat is in one of
the seating positions in the back seat.
A child at least one year old who can
sit up without support, and who fits
within the child seat maker’s weight
and height limits, should be
restrained in a forward-facing,
upright child seat.
Of the different seats available, we
recommend those that have a five-
point harness system as shown.
If the vehicle seat is too far forward,
or the child’s head is thrown forward
during a collision, an inflating
passenger’s airbag can strike the
child with enough force to cause
very serious or fatal injuries. If a
small child must be closely watched,
we recommend that another adult sit
in the back seat with the child.
