Child Restraints - Jeep Wrangler 2011 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
anchorage.
• Two-door models can accommodate flexible LATCH-compatible child seats in the
two outboard seating positions only.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the anchorage bars, pushing
aside the seat cover material. You will easily feel the anchorage bars if you run your
finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
GETTING STARTED
• 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.
