Whatever you do, make sure to disable the passenger side airbag with the key switch adjacent to the passenger door hinge. Your car also has LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) anchors on the passenger side to install an appropriate child car seat.

here is some good information:

"LATCH System Lower Anchor

Effective February 2014, parents should not use the lower anchors of LATCH, such as the one shown here, if the combined weight of the child and the car seat is 65 pounds or more, says NHTSA. | March 13, 2013 | NHTSA"

There is some good Canadian information on this site at the link below. Maybe there is a similar organization in your town with info pertaining to your local regulations:

But as noted above, check local laws to be sure that you are using the appropriate child restraint system that is required in your jurisdiction for your child's age and weight.

Cheers!!
