Universal Child Restraint Anchorage
Seats in this bus equipped with the universal child restraint anchors are identified
by a decal located over the seat above the window. (See Decal illustration on the
following page.)
This vehicle may be equipped with a universal child restraint anchorage system.
If so, you'll find two anchors in the front lower seatback where the bottom of the
seatback meets the back of the seat cushion and a third anchor in the lower rear
seatback. (See the Universal Child Restraint Anchorage illustration.)
In order to use this system, you need either a forward-facing child restraint that
has attaching points (A) at its base and a top tether anchor (B), or a rear-facing child
restraint that has attaching points (A) as shown.
Whenever applicable, use the universal child restraint anchorage system instead
of the vehicle's safety belts to secure a child restraint.
[WARNING] If a child restraint isn't attached to its anchorage points, the re-
straint won't be able to protect a child sitting there. In a crash, the child could
be seriously injured or killed. Make sure that the child restraint is properly
installed using the anchorage points.
Securing A Universal Child Restraint
1. Find the anchors (A) for the seating position you wish to use, where the bot-
tom of the seatback meets the back of the seat cushion. See Universal Child
Restraint Anchorage illustration.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Attach the anchor points on the child restraint to the anchors in the bus seat.
The child restraint instructions will show you how.
4. Attach the top strap to the top strap anchor (B). Tighten the top strap accord-
ing to the child restraint instructions.
5. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to ensure it is secure.
