Securing a Child Restraint in the
Right Front Seat Position
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-40. See Top Strap
on page 1-37 if the child restraint has one.
There is no top strap anchor in the right front passenger’s
position. Do not secure a child seat in this position if a
national or local law requires that the top strap be
anchored, or if the instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top strap must be anchored.
Your vehicle has a right front passenger air bag. Never
put a rear facing child restraint in this seat. Here is why:
{CAUTION:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured or killed if the right front
passenger’s air bag inflates. This is because
the back of the rear-facing child restraint
would be very close to the inflating air bag.
Always secure a rear-facing child restraint in
a rear seat.
