Securing a Child Restraint Designed
for the LATCH System
1. Find the LATCH anchorages for the seating
position you want to use, where the bottom of the
seatback meets the back of the seat cushion.
See Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-55.
2. Put the child restraint on the seat.
3. Attach and tighten the LATCH attachments on the
child restraint to the LATCH anchorages in the
vehicle. The child restraint instructions will show
you how.
4. If the child restraint is forward-facing, attach and
tighten the top tether to the top tether anchorage.
The child restraint instructions will show you how.
Also see Top Strap on page 1-51.
5. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, simply unhook the
top tether from the top tether anchorage and then
disconnect the LATCH attachments from the
LATCH anchorages.
Securing a Child Restraint in a
Rear Outside Seat Position
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-55. See Top Strap
on page 1-51 if the child restraint has one.
For the third row, if your vehicle has a bench seat,
there are no top strap anchors in the outboard seating
positions. If your vehicle has a 50/50 split bench seat in
the third row, there is no top strap anchor in the
driver-side seating position. Do not secure a child
restraint in these positions if a national or local
law requires that the top strap be anchored or if the
instructions that come with the child restraint say that
the top strap must be anchored.
