Securing an Add-On Child Restraint
in the Vehicle
9 Warning
A child could be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly secured in
the vehicle. Secure the child re‐
straint properly in the vehicle using
the vehicle's safety belt or LATCH
system, following the instructions
that came with that child restraint
and the instructions in this manual.
To help reduce the chance of injury,
the child restraint must be secured in
the vehicle. Child restraint systems
must be secured in vehicle seats by
lap belts or the lap belt portion of
a lap-shoulder belt, or by the LATCH
system. See Lower Anchors and
Tethers for Children (LATCH System)
3 70.
Children can be endangered in
a crash if the child restraint is not
properly secured in the vehicle.
When securing an add-on child re‐
straint, refer to the instructions that
come with the restraint which may be
on the restraint itself or in a booklet,
or both, and to this manual. The child
restraint instructions are important, so
if they are not available, obtain a re‐
placement copy from the manufac‐
turer.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a colli‐
sion or sudden stop and injure people
in the vehicle. Be sure to properly se‐
cure any child restraint in the vehicle
- even when no child is in it.
In some areas, Certified Child Pas‐
senger Safety Technicians (CPSTs)
are available to inspect and demon‐
strate how to correctly use and install
child restraints. In the U.S., refer to
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) website to
locate the nearest child safety seat in‐
spection station. For CPST availabil‐
ity in Canada, check with Transport
Canada or the Provincial Ministry of
Transportation office.
