In addition, there are tether strap anchorages
behind each rear seating position, located in the
rear surface of the seatback. When using the
tether anchorages in the rear seating positions,
ensure that the strap is routed over the top of the
seatback and under the head restraint between
the head restraint posts.
Child restraint systems having attachments de-
signed to connect to the lower anchorages are
now available. Child restraints having tether
straps and hooks for connection to the seatback
tether anchorage have been available for some
time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers
will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of
their older products.

The 3-passenger bench seat in the third position
must be adjusted to the full rear position on the
tracks when the LATCH system is used. Also,
when using the LATCH system be sure the seat-
back is two clicks rear of its full upright position.
Because the lower anchorages are to be intro-
duced to passenger carrying vehicles over a
period of years, child restraint systems having
attachments for those anchorages will continue to
have features for installation in vehicles using the
lap or lap/shoulder belt. They will also have tether
straps, and you are urged to take advantage of all
of the available attachments provided with your
child restraint in any vehicle.
Installing the Child Restraint System
While there are LATCH anchorages at all the rear
seating positions, do not install three child re-
straints at the same time in the rear most seat
position. The anchorages in the rear most seat are
not designed to restrain three child restraints at
one time. Instead, you may install one child re-
straint at the center position, or one child restraint
at each of the right and left positions.
WARNING!
Do not install child restraint systems equipped
with LATCH attachments at all three rear seat-
ing positions in the rear most seat at one time.
The LATCH anchorages in the rear most seat
are designed to restrain no more than two child
restraints at a time in the event of a collision.
We urge that you carefully follow the directions of
the manufacturer when installing your child re-
straint. Many, but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each side, with
each having a hook or connector and a means for
adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward-facing
toddler restraints and some rearward-facing infant
restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap,
a hook and means for adjusting the tension in the
strap.
In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the
lower straps and tether straps so that you can
more easily attach the hook or connector to the
lower anchorages and tether anchorages. Then
tighten all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the seat.
Not all child restraint systems will be installed as
we have described here. Again, carefully follow
the instructions that come with the child restraint
system.
