& Where to Place a Child Restraint System s01ag01
The following descriptions are SUBARU ’ s recommendations on where to place a child restraint system in your vehicle .
WARNING
. Several types of child restraint systems may conceal the buckle of the neighboring seat . If the occupant of the neighboring seat cannot correctly fasten the seatbelt , that person must move to a different seat . If the seatbelt cannot be correctly fastened , there is the risk of serious injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision .
