straint system, the child should sit in the rear  seat and must be restrained using the

statistics, the child is safer when properly 
restrained in  the rear seat than in the front
seat. Do not allow the child to stand up or 
kneel on either rear or front seats. If the

or face, move the child to the center posi- tion and use the center lap belt.
