Protecting Children
Placing a Child Seat
This page briefly summarizes Acura's
recommendations on where to place
rear-facing and forward-facing child
seats in your car.
Front Passenger's Seat
Infants: Never in the front seat, due
to the passenger's airbag hazard.
Small children: Not recommended,
due to the passenger's airbag
hazard. If a small child must ride
in front, move the vehicle seat to
the rear-most position and secure
a front-facing child seat with the
seat belt (see page 35 ).
Back Seats
Infants: Recommended positions.
Secure a rear-facing child seat
with the seat belt (see page 3 1 ) .
Small children: Recommended
positions. Secure a front-facing
child seat with the seat belt (see
page
35 ).
Driver and Passenger Safety
Airbags Pose Serious
Risks to Children
The passenger's airbag inflates
with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant in a
rear-facing child seat.
A small child in a forward-facing
child seat is also at risk. If the
vehicle seat is too far forward,
or the child's head is thrown
forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can kill or
seriously injure the child.
If a small child must ride in the
front, follow the instructions
provided in this section.
