Seats and Restraints
anchored, or if the instructions
that come with the child
restraint say that the top
tether must be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires
that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether,
and that the tether be
attached.
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 85.
1. Put the child restraint on
the seat.
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 86.
2. Pick up the latch plate and
run the lap and shoulder
portions of the vehicle
seat belt through or
around the child restraint.
Ensure the seat belt
webbing is routed as
directly as possible and is
not caught on seat handles
or plastic trim. The child
restraint instructions will
show you how.
3. Push the latch plate into
the buckle until it clicks.
Position the release button
on the buckle, away from
the child restraint, so that
the seat belt could be
quickly unbuckled if
necessary.
There must not be direct
contact of the child
restraint to the push
button.
