Securing A Child Restraint In A Center Rear - Cadillac ESCALADE ESV 2005 Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Restraint in a
Center Rear Seat Position
Second Row
The center seat position in the second row has a
lap-shoulder belt which works the same way as the
safety belt in the rear outside seat positions. For
instructions on how to secure a child restraint using a
lap-shoulder belt see Securing a Child Restraint in
a Rear Outside Seat Position on page 1-65.
Third Row
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-62. See Top Strap
on page 1-58 if the child restraint has one.
If your vehicle has 50/50 split bench seat in the third
row, there is no top strap anchor in the center seating
position. Do not secure a child restraint in this 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.
If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you will be using a lap belt to secure the child restraint
in the center seat position in the third row. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came with the child
restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when
and as the instructions say.
1. Make the belt as long as possible by tilting
the latch plate and pulling it along the belt.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Run the vehicle's safety belt through or around
the restraint. The child restraint instructions will
show you how.
