There are three basic types of child restraint

systems:

• Rear-facing child restraint

• Forward-facing child restraint

• Booster seat

The proper restraint depends on the child’s size.

Generally, infants up to about 1 year and less

than 20 lb (9 kg) should be placed in rear-facing

child restraints. Forward-facing child restraints

are available for children who outgrow rear-

facing child restraints and are at least 1 year old.

Booster seats are used to help position a vehicle

lap/shoulder belt on a child who can no longer

use a forward-facing child restraint.

WARNING

Infants and children need special protec-

tion. The vehicle’s seat belts may not fit

them properly. The shoulder belt may

come too close to the face or neck. The

lap belt may not fit over their small hip

bones. In an accident, an improperly fit-

ting seat belt could cause serious or fatal

injury. Always use appropriate child re-

straints.

All U.S. states and Canadian provinces or territo-

ries require the use of approved child restraints

for infants and small children. See “Child re-

straints” in this section.

A child restraint may be secured in the vehicle by

using either the LATCH (Lower Anchor and Teth-

ers for Children) system or with the vehicle seat

belt. For more information, see “Child restraints”

in this section.

NISSAN recommends that all pre-teens

and children be restrained in the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in the

rear seat than in the front seat.

This is especially important because your

vehicle has a supplemental restraint sys-

tem (air bag system) for the front passen-

ger. See “Supplemental restraint system”

in this section.

INFANTS

Infants up to at least 1 year old should be placed

in a rear-facing child restraint. NISSAN recom-

mends that infants be placed in child restraints

that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards. You should choose a child restraint

that fits your vehicle and always follow the manu-

facturer’s instructions for installation and use.

SMALL CHILDREN

Children that are over 1 year old and weigh at

least 20 lbs (9 kg) should remain in a rear-facing

child restraint as long as possible up to the height

or weight limit of the child restraint. Children who

outgrow the height or weight limit of the rear-

facing child restraint and are at least 1 year old

should be secured in a forward-facing child re-

straint with a harness. Refer to the manufactur-

er’s instructions for minimum and maximum

weight and height recommendations. NISSAN

recommends that small children be placed in

child restraints that comply with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Ve-

hicle Safety Standards. You should choose a

child restraint that fits your vehicle and always

follow the manufacturer’s instructions for instal-

lation and use.

LARGER CHILDREN

Children should remain in a forward-facing child

restraint with a harness until they reach the maxi-

mum height or weight limit allowed by the child

restraint manufacturer.

Once a child outgrows the height or weight limit

of the harness-equipped forward-facing child re-

straint, NISSAN recommends that the child be
