A child seat secured with a seat belt
should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, it does not need
to be ''rock solid''. Some side-to-side
movement can be expected and
should not reduce the child seat's
effectiveness.
If the child seat is not secure, try
installing it in a different seating
position, or use a different style of
child seat that can be firmly secured.
3. Secure the child in the child seat.
Make sure the child is properly
strapped in the child seat
according to the child seat maker's
instructions. A child who is not
properly secured in a child seat
can be seriously injured in a crash.
The following pages provide
guidelines on how to properly install
a child seat. A forward-facing child
seat is used in all examples, but the
instructions are the same for a rear-
facing child seat.

Tethers for Children) at the second

with a child seat designed for use
with LATCH.
The location of each lower anchor is
marked with a small circle above the
point.
To install a LATCH-compatible child
