Vehicle Safety, Documents & TowingStandalone practice
A vehicle’s front passenger air bag is active. Where should a rear-facing infant seat be placed?
Correct answer: In a rear seat, installed as its instructions say.
Why
Never place a rear-facing infant seat in front of an active passenger air bag. Use an appropriate rear seating position and follow the vehicle and child-restraint instructions. This is a placement hazard separate from the child’s age and height eligibility for a restraint.
