Securing a Child Restraint in Your
Medium Duty Vehicle
We know securing a child can present real problems in
a medium-duty vehicle like yours. The only place where
you can properly secure a child restraint is the center
seating position, the place that has the lap belt only.
But your vehicle may not have a center seating position.
Or, even if you have one, you may find that the child
restraint keeps you from operating the shift lever or
other controls. The only answer may be to have the
smaller children make the trip in another vehicle, where
they can get the protection they need.
You will be using the lap belt. 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. But do not use this position if
the child restraint interferes with shifting gears.
There are no top tether anchors in this vehicle. Do not
secure a child seat in this vehicle if a national or local
law requires that the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the restraint say that the
top tether must be anchored. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH) on page 1 33 if the child
restraint has one.
1-34
In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
1. Make the belt as long as needed 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.
