90 Seats and Restraints
Securing an Add-On Child
Restraint in the Vehicle
Warning
A child can be seriously
injured or killed in a crash if
the child restraint is not
properly secured in the
vehicle. Secure the child
restraint properly in the
vehicle using the vehicle
seat 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
restraints 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) 0 92
for more information. Never
use a seat belt extender when
installing a child restraint.
Never use non-regulated
aftermarket anchors or
attachments to secure a child
restraint. Children can be
endangered in a crash if the
child restraint is not properly
secured in the vehicle.
When securing an add-on child
restraint, refer to the
following:
1. Instruction labels provided
on the child restraint
2. Instruction manual
provided with the child
restraint
3. This vehicle owner's
manual
The child restraint instructions
are important, so if they are
not available, obtain a
replacement copy from the
manufacturer.
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 the vehicle
when no child is in it.
In some areas Certified Child
Passenger Safety Technicians
(CPSTs) are available to
inspect and demonstrate 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
inspection station. For CPST
availability in Canada, check
with Transport Canada or the
Provincial Ministry of
Transportation office.
