HONDA 2007 S2000 - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 42)

If you decide that a child can safely
ride in this vehicle, be sure to:
Carefully read the owner’s manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all safety
information.
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.
Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the floor.
Check that the child’s seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.
Supervise the child. Even mature
children sometimes need to be
reminded to fasten the seat belts
or sit properly.
Physically, a child must be large
enough for the lap/shoulder belt to
properly fit (see page
). If the seat
belt does not fit properly, with or
without the child sitting on a booster,
the child should not sit in this vehicle.
To safely ride in this vehicle, a child
must be able to follow the rules,
including sitting properly, and
wearing the seat belt properly
throughout ride.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children
age 12 and under be properly
restrained in a back seat.
If the passenger’s airbag inflates in a
moderate to severe frontal collision,
the airbag can cause serious injuries
to a child who is unrestrained,
improperly restrained, sitting too
close to the airbag, or out of position.
Of course, children vary widely. And
while age may be one indicator of
when a child can safely ride in this
vehicle. There are other important
factors you should consider.
