If placed
facing forward, an infant could be
very seriously injured during a
frontal collision.
An infant must be properly
restrained in a rear-facing, reclining
child seat until the child reaches the
seat maker’s weight or height limit
for the seat, and the child is at least
one year old.
Only a rear-facing child seat provides
proper support for a baby’s head,
neck, and back.
If the passenger’s front airbag
inflates, it can hit the back of the
child seat with enough force to kill or
seriously injure an infant.
Two types of seats may be used: a
seat designed exclusively for infants,
or a convertible seat used in the rear-
facing, reclining mode.
When properly installed in the
second row, a rear-facing child seat
maypreventthedriverorafront
passenger from moving their seat as
far back as recommended, or from
locking their seat-back in the desired
position.
A rear-facing child seat can be placed
in any seating position in the back
seat, but not in the front.
It could also interfere with proper
operation of the passenger’s
advanced front airbag system.
