Side air bags and rear
seat travel The safest position for a child
aged 12 or under is in the rear seat.
Select a seating location away from side air bags whenever possible.
Make sure your child is properly buckled up, with the lap belt low and snug over the hips
and the shoulder belt across the chest. Never place the shoulder belt behind the child or
under the arm.
If you have no alternative but to place your child in a seat equipped
with a side air bag:
- Fasten the seat belt as above.
- Have your child sit up straight and remind your child
not to lean against the door at any time.
- Ensure the area between your child and the door is clear of all
objects. Toys, blankets, and even pillows could harm your child if the side air bag
inflates.
Check your childs position frequently throughout the journey. |
