Explanation
Never place an infant in a rear-facing child safety seat in the front seat of a vehicle with an active passenger airbag. In a crash, the airbag can deploy with tremendous force, striking the back of the child seat and transmitting that force to the infant’s head, which can cause severe injury or death. Instead, always place the child safety seat in the rear seat, or turn off the airbag if necessary. If using a child safety seat, always ensure it is correctly installed and used according to manufacturer guidelines.
