Child Safety
Children depend on adults to protect
them. To help make sure we do,
every state and Canadian province
has laws requiring infants and young
children to be properly restrained
whenever they ride in a car.
Where Should Children Sit?
According to accident statistics,
children of all sizes and ages are
safer when they are properly
restrained in the rear seat rather
than the front seat.
We recommend that, whenever
possible, you secure your child's
infant or toddler seat in the center
position of the rear seat with the lap
belt.
We strongly recommend that you do
not put an infant seat in the front
passenger seat. If the airbag inflates,
it can hit the seat with great force.
The infant seat can be dislodged and
the baby seriously injured.

Driver and Passenger Safety
An infant or child who is not
properly restrained can be
killed or seriously injured in a
crash.
Be sure any child too small
for seat belts is properly
secured in a child restraint.
