Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Owner's Manual: Infants

Infants traveling in the Nissan Armada should always be placed in a rear-facing child restraint system for maximum safety. It is strongly recommended that children remain in this position until at least 1 year of age, or longer if possible, depending on the limits of the child restraint.

NISSAN recommends selecting child restraint systems that comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. When using a Nissan Armada, always choose a child restraint that is compatible with the vehicle and carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for correct installation and use.

Small children

Children older than 1 year and weighing at least 20 lbs (9 kg) should continue using a rear-facing child restraint for as long as possible, until they reach the height or weight limits specified by the manufacturer. This approach provides enhanced protection in the Nissan Armada, especially in the event of a collision.

Once a child exceeds the limits of a rear-facing restraint, they should transition to a forward-facing child restraint equipped with a harness system. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding weight and height requirements.

NISSAN recommends that small children in the Nissan Armada be secured using approved child restraints that meet applicable safety standards. Proper installation and correct usage are essential to ensure the highest level of protection.

Larger children

Children should continue using a forward-facing child restraint with a harness until they reach the maximum size limits defined by the manufacturer.

After outgrowing a forward-facing restraint, children should transition to a booster seat. In the Nissan Armada, a booster seat helps position the seat belt correctly, ensuring that the shoulder belt lies across the chest and shoulder rather than the neck or face.

The lap belt should fit snugly across the lower hips or upper thighs, not across the abdomen. Proper positioning significantly improves safety in the Nissan Armada during sudden stops or impacts.

A booster seat may only be used in seating positions equipped with a three-point seat belt system. Ensure that the booster seat is certified according to Federal or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Continue using a booster seat until the child can pass the following seat belt fit test in the Nissan Armada:

• Does the child sit with their back and hips fully against the seatback?
• Can the child sit upright without slouching?
• Do the child’s knees bend naturally over the front edge of the seat with feet flat on the floor?
• Is the seat belt positioned correctly (lap belt low on the hips and shoulder belt across the chest and shoulder)?
• Is the head restraint/headrest properly adjusted for the child?
• Can the child remain properly seated for the entire journey?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, the child should continue using a booster seat with a three-point seat belt in the Nissan Armada.

NOTE:

Child safety laws may vary depending on the region. Always verify local regulations to ensure that your child is using the correct restraint system when traveling in the Nissan Armada.

WARNING

Never allow a child to stand, kneel, or ride in the cargo area of the Nissan Armada. In the event of a sudden stop or collision, this can result in serious injury or fatal consequences.

Ensuring proper child restraint usage in the Nissan Armada is one of the most important responsibilities of any driver, helping to provide maximum protection for young passengers at all times.
