Honda CR-V: All Children Should Sit in a Back Seat
Honda CR-V (2006–2011) Owner's Manual / Driver and Passenger Safety / Protecting Children General Guidelines / All Children Should Sit in a Back Seat
According to statistics, children of all ages and sizes are safer when they are restrained in a back seat.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children aged 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. Some states have laws restricting where children may ride.
Children who ride in back are less likely to be injured by striking interior vehicle parts during a collision or hard braking. Also, children cannot be injured by an inflating front airbag when they ride in the back.
