A rear-facing child restraint in the front seat could be pushed
into the seatback by the right-front passenger's air bag if it
inflates.
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be seriously
injured if this happens. Always secure a rear-facing child
restraint in the rear seat.
You'll be using the lap-shoulder belt. See the earlier section about the top
strap if the child restraint has one.
1. Always move the seat as far back as it will go before securing a
front-facing child restraint.
2. Put the restraint on the seat. Follow the instructions for the child

-
Children who have outgrown child restraints should wear the vehicle's
safety belts.
If you have the choice, a child should sit next to a window so the child can
wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder b\
elt
can provide.
Accident statistics show that children are safer
if' they are restrained in
the rear seat. But they need
to use the safety belts properly.
