Be aware that a CRS may be subject to recall by the manufacturer. Check the CRS manufacturer website and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website for current recall information prior to purchasing a CRS. Keep in mind that air bags are a supplemental restraint system and always must be used in conjunction with a seat belt. A rear-facing CRS must never be placed in the front-passenger seat, an inflating supplemental air bag could seriously injure or kill your child. All children 12 and under should ride in the rear seat properly secured in a CRS, booster seat, or seat belt, according to their size. For a comprehensive guide to child safety seat installation and use, consult your child safety seat and vehicle manuals. 2019
