Question 10 of 10

10. Question
You should consult the following when it comes to contact with the front vehicle seat:
- a. Car seat manufacturer’s instructions
- b. Vehicle manufacturer’s instructions
- c. Both the car seat instruction manual and the vehicle owner’s manual. Under FMVSS 208, vehicle manufacturers are required to classify occupants sitting in the front seats in order to determine if, when and how powerfully to fire the front airbags in the event of a crash. The methods used to do this vary by vehicle/manufacturer. Some technologies may be affected by the presence of a child restraint pushing against the back of the vehicle seat, while others are not. Check both the vehicle and car seat instructions for guidance regarding contacting the vehicle seat back.
