9-A Choosing Vehicle Seat Location
Review your vehicle owner's manual for seating locations.
The best seating location for this car seat is one that:
• Is recommended by your vehicle owner's manual, and
• Results in a secure installation of this car seat.
According to accident statistics, the safest place for your
child in any vehicle is the back seat. The center of the back
seat can be the safest during a possible side impact.
Some vehicles have specific requirements for where the car seat can be installed, so
be sure to check your vehicle owner's manual for available seating positions, if any.
For example, sometimes the center rear seat has a lap only vehicle seat belt, which
cannot be used when this car seat is in Booster mode.
In the event there is no available back seat and / or you have no other option than to place
a child other than an infant in a rear-facing car seat in a front passenger seating position,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends that you take the
following steps:
• Ensure the child is properly restrained according to their age and size.
• Move the seat as far back as possible.
• Make sure the child is not leaning out of position, such as leaning forward into the
deployment path of the air bag.
• Set the air bag ON-OFF switch, if available, to the OFF position.
