Installing A Rear-Facing Child Seat With A Lap/Shoulder Belt - Honda Odyssey 2001 Reference Owner's Manual

When properly installed, a rear-
facing child seat may prevent the
driver or a front-seat passenger from
moving the seat as far back as
recommended (see page 12). Or it
may prevent them from locking the
seat-back in the desired upright
position (see page 13).
In either case, we recommend that
you place the child seat in another
back seating position, or leave the
affected seat unoccupied. If the
problem cannot be solved, you may
wish to get a smaller rear-facing
child seat.
Installing a Rear-Facing Child Seat
with a Lap/Shoulder'Belt
The lap/shoulder belts in the outer
back seats have a locking
mechanism that must be activated to
secure a child seat.
The following pages provide
instructions on how to secure a rear-
facing child seat with this type of
seat belt.
See page 35 for how to secure a rear-
facing child seat in the center
position on the third seat with the lap
part of the lap/shoulder belt.
For tips on installing a rear-facing
child seat with either type of seat
belt, see page 36 .
If you have a child seat designed to
attach to the vehicle's lower
anchorages, follow the instructions
on page 47.
Protecting Children
1. With the child seat in the desired
back seating position, route the
belt through the child seat
according to the seat maker's
instructions, then insert the latch
plate into the buckle.
