Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear

Seat Position

When securing a child restraint in a rear seating
position, study the instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is compatible with this vehicle.
If the child restraint has the LATCH system, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on
page 2 43 for how and where to install the child
restraint using LATCH. If you secure a child restraint
using a safety belt and it uses a top tether, see Lower
Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) on
page 2 43 for top tether anchor locations.
Do not secure a child restraint in a position without a
top tether anchor if a national or local law requires that
the top tether be anchored, or if the instructions that
come with the child restraint say that the top strap must
be anchored.
In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child
restraints have a top tether, and that the tether be
attached.
