Protecting Children

2. The child seat should be of the

proper type and size to fit the child.

Infants: Children up to about one

year old should be restrained in a
rear-facing, reclining child seat. Only
a rear-facing seat provides the
proper support to protect an infant's

head, neck, and back. See page

28

for additional information on

protecting infants.

Small Children: A child who is too

large for a rear-facing child seat, and
who can sit up without support,
should be restrained in a forward-
facing child seat. See page

32

for

additional information on protecting
small children.

3. The child seat should fit the

vehicle seating position (or

positions) where it will be used.

Due to variations in the design of
child seats, vehicle seats, and seat
belts, all child seats will not fit all

vehicle seating positions.

However, Acura is confident that one
or more child seat models can fit and

be properly installed in all
recommended seating positions in
your car.

Before purchasing a child seat, we
recommend that parents test the
child seat in the specific vehicle
seating position (or positions) where

they intend to use the seat. If a
previously purchased child seat does
not fit, you may need to buy a
different one that will fit.
