Can I install a car seat in the side-facing (jump) positions in our pickup truck?
Car seats and boosters should NEVER be installed in side-facing jump seats. Car seats and boosters are designed to protect children in events of front end and rear end crashes. Your child could suffer from severe head, neck or spinal injuries if buckled into a side-facing jump seat. 15. I’ve seen recent newspaper articles indicating that lap belts are dangerous for children. I thought having your child belted in was the safe thing to do.
