If the vehicle has the LATCH system

Securing Child Restraints

(With the Seat Belt in the

Rear Seat)

When securing a child restraint with
the seat belts in a rear seat position,
study the instructions that came with
the child restraint to make sure it is
compatible with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 0 102 for
how and where to install the child
restraint using LATCH. If a child
restraint is secured in the vehicle
using a seat belt and it uses a top
tether, see Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System) 0 102 for
top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child seat in a
position without a top tether anchor if
a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the
instructions that come with the child
restraint say that the top strap must
be anchored.
If the child restraint or vehicle seat
position does not have the LATCH
system, you will be using the seat belt
to secure the child restraint. Be sure
to follow the instructions that came
with the child restraint.
If more than one child restraint needs
to be installed in the rear seat, be sure
to read Where to Put the Restraint
0 101.
1. Put the child restraint on
the seat.
For the third row outboard
seating positions, if the head
restraint interferes with the
proper installation of the child
restraint, the head restraint may
be removed. See Head Restraint
Removal and Reinstallation
under Lower Anchors and Tethers
for Children (LATCH System)
0 102.
2. Pick up the latch plate, and run
the lap and shoulder portions of
the vehicle's seat belt through or
around the restraint. The child
restraint instructions will show
you how.
3. Push the latch plate into the
buckle until it clicks.
If the latch plate will not go fully
into the buckle, check to see if
the correct buckle is being used.
Position the release button on
the buckle, away from the child
restraint system, so that the seat
belt could be quickly unbuckled
if necessary.
