• Never put a rear facing child in a front seat with an active frontal air bag.* A back seat is generally the safest place for kids of any age.
• Choose the right child safety seat or safety belt for your child's size and age.
• Send in the child safety seat registration card to be notified in case it is recalled.  If you have questions about recalls, call the manufacturer, visit NHTSA or call 888-DASH-2-DOT.
• Use the correct child safety seat belt path or LATCH system.
• Check your vehicle and child safety seat instructions to see how to lock your child safety seat in place and if you need any special installation hardware.
• Get a tight fit - an installed child safety seat should not move more than one inch from side to side or toward the front of the vehicle.
• Make sure your child is snugly secured by the safety belt, according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Replace any child safety seat that has been involved in a crash.
• If you must use the front seat, contact your vehicle manufacturer for information about airbag on/off switches.
