bight.

Air Bags  

Consult your vehicle 
owner’s manual for 
all air bag locations.

Seat Bight

Safety Tip:

To help protect your vehicle seat’s upholstery from 
damage, use a single layered towel underneath and 
behind infant restraint.

To avoid your infant being seriously burned, 
take the following precautions:

1. Park in the shade or where sun does not directly 
hit the infant restraint.
2. Cover the infant restraint with a sheet or blanket 
when not in use.
3. Check for hot seat and buckles before placing 
infant in infant restraint.

Vehicle Seating Position

Safety Tip:

Children are safer 
when properly 
restrained in a rear 
seating position than in 

the front seating position.

According to accident statistics, children 
in rear seating positions are statistically 
safer, whether you have air bags, 
advanced air bags, or no air bags at all.

Never install an infant restraint in 
the front seat of a vehicle equipped 
with an active passenger side frontal 
airbag.

In very few vehicles, the infant restraint cannot 
be properly installed because of the type of 
seat belt system and/or air bag system.  Always 
read and follow the vehicle owner’s manual 
instructions for infant restraint use.

Use the infant restraint only on 
vehicle seats that face forward. 
Do not use on seats that face the 
sides or rear of the vehicle. 
For vehicles with an air bag, but 
without a back seat, refer to your 
vehicle owner’s manual.
