If the position you are
using has an adjustable
headrest or head restraint
and you are using a
single tether, route the
tether under the headrest
or head restraint and
in between the headrest or
head restraint posts.

3. Push and pull the child restraint in different

directions to be sure it is secure.

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 1-43 for how and where to install the child
restraint using LATCH. If a child restraint is secured in

the vehicle using a safety belt and it uses a top tether,
see Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH)
on page 1-43 for top tether anchor locations.

Do not secure a child seat 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.

If the child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you will be using the safety belt to secure the child
restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the instructions
that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the
child restraint when and as the instructions say.

If more than one child restraint needs to be installed
in the rear seat, be sure to read Where to Put the
Restraint
on page 1-42.

1. Put the child restraint on the seat.

2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder

portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or
around the restraint. The child restraint instructions
will show you how.
