Child Restraints - Jeep Wrangler 2013 User Manual

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be
prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• Four-Door models: The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors, and all
three rear seating positions have top tether anchors. Child seats with fixed lower
attachments must be installed in the outboard positions only. Child seats with
flexible lower attachments can be used in all three seating positions. Never install
LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common lower anchor-
age.
• Two-door models can accommodate flexible LATCH-compatible child seats in the
two outboard seating positions only. Both rear seating positions have lower anchors
and top tether anchors. Child seats with fixed or flexible LATCH-compatible
attachments can be installed in either outboard seating position.
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the
lower straps and tether straps so that
you can attach the hook or connector
to the lower and tether anchorages
more easily.
