Top Strap Anchor Location - Pontiac 2005 Aztek Owner's Manual

In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top strap, and that the strap be
anchored. In the United States, some child restraints
also have a top strap. If your child restraint has a
top strap, it should be anchored.
Anchor the top strap to one of the following anchor
points. Be sure to use an anchor point located on the
same side of the vehicle as the seating position
where the child restraint will be placed. If you have an
adjustable head restraint, route the top strap under it.
If you're using a top strap-equipped child restraint in the
center rear seat and need to temporarily transport a
flat tire for repair, move the child restraint to a rear seat
1-46
outboard position. See Securing a Child Restraint in a
Rear Outside Seat Position on page 1-50 for more
on this, including important safety information.
Once you have the top strap anchored, you'll be ready
to secure the child restraint itself. Tighten the top
strap when and as the child restraint manufacturer's
instructions say.

Top Strap Anchor Location

Your vehicle has top strap anchors already installed for
the rear seating positions. An anchor bar for a top
strap is located at the rear of the seat cushion for each
second row outboard seating position and the anchor
bar for the center position bench seat is located on the
floor behind the second row seats. If your vehicle
has the sliding rear convenience tray, you need to
remove a plastic plug and look under the convenience
tray to find the anchor bar for the center position for the
bench seat.
Do not secure a child restraint with a top strap in the
right front passenger's position if a national or local law
requires that the top strap be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child restraint say that
the top strap must be anchored. There is no place
to anchor the top strap in this position.
