The program provides consumers with the Snug Kids® Child Restraint System Fit Guide, a comprehensive manual that helps parents and caretakers confidently select a CRS that fits their specific vehicle, and provides valuable tips on the proper installation, fit, and use.

Nissan safety engineers, certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians, have spent thousands of hours evaluating hundreds of child restraints. The CRS were installed in our vehicles, in all appropriate modes of use, including rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster.
The results of the tests for all of our vehicles are available in PDF form at the Snug Kids Program page.
In 2011, Nissan announced its planned participation in the Vehicle-CRS Fit Program, an initiative proposed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Much like the Snug Kids® program, the Vehicle-CRS Fit Program is designed to help consumers choose a child restraint system for their vehicle.

TIPS FOR A SECURE FIT IN CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS (CRS)
Enlarge
Rear-facing CRS (Infants/Toddlers)
A child under the age of 1 year should always ride in a rear-facing CRS. A child should remain in a rear-facing CRS until they reach the maximum height or weight allowed by the CRS manufacturer. Keep a child in a rear-facing CRS as long as possible.
Enlarge
Forward-facing CRS (Toddlers/Small Children)
A child should use a forward-facing CRS with a harness until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by the CRS manufacturer. Keep a child in the forward-facing seat with harness for as long as possible.

Booster Seats (Large Children) Once the child outgrows the forward-facing CRS, a booster seat should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit (see description below). Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face and neck and the lap belt can be positioned properly across the lower hips or upper thighs, use the seat belt without the booster seat.
