Protecting Children

Protecting Infants

Child Seat Type
Only a rear-facing child seat provides

proper support for a baby's head,

neck, and back. Infants up to about
one year of age must be restrained in
a rear-facing child seat.

Two types of seats may be used: a

seat designed exclusively for infants,

or a convertible seat used in the rear-
facing, reclining mode.

We recommend that an infant be

restrained in a rear-facing child seat
until the infant reaches the seat
maker's weight or height limit and is

able to sit up without support.

Rear-Facing Child Seat Placement

In this vehicle, a rear-facing child
seat can be placed in any seating
position in a back seat, but not in the

front seat.

Never put a rear-facing child seat in

the front seat. If the passenger's

airbag inflates, it can hit the back of
the child seat with enough force to

kill or seriously injure an infant. If an

infant must be closely watched, we
recommend that another adult sit in

a back seat with the baby.

Do not put a rear-facing child seat in
a forward-facing position.
If placed

facing forward, an infant could be

very seriously injured during a
frontal collision.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Placing a rear-facing child seat
in the front seat can result in

serious injury or death if the
airbags inflate.

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