Your car has a passenger air bag in the front seat. You are going to drive with a baby in a rear-facing infant seat. Where should the infant seat go?
An empty cutaway car shows its front seats and back seat, with FRONT and REAR orientation labels. No child seat or seating position is selected.
Correct answer: In the back seat, never in front of the passenger air bag.
Why
An air bag opens with great force and can seriously injure a baby in a rear-facing seat in front of it. Put the infant seat in the back seat; the handbook recommends the back seat for all children 12 and under. If a child must ride in front, use a forward-facing seat, secure the child properly, and push the passenger seat all the way back.
