There is limited space in the rear seating area of a crew
cab pickup model. If you want to secure a child restraint
in a rear outside seating position of a crew cab model, be
sure to study the instructions that came with your child
restraint to see if there is enough room to secure your
seat properly. Don't secure a child restraint in the
center rear seating position, because the restraints won't
work properly.
-
If a forward
facing child seat must be secured in the
vehicle's right front seat, the seat should be moved back
as far as possible. However, it is better to secure the
restraint in a rear seat.
Wherever you install it, be sure to secure the child
restraint properly. Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision or sudden stop
and injure people in the vehicle. Be sure to properly
secure any child restraint in your vehicle
no child is in it.
Top Strap
Some child restraints have a top strap, or "top tether."
It can help restrain the child restraint during a collision.
For it to work, a top strap must be properly anchored to
the vehicle.
If the child restraint does not have a top strap, one
can be obtained, in kit form, for many child restraints.
Ask the child restraint manufacturer whether or not a kit
is available.
