Securing the Child Within the Child
Restraint
{CAUTION:
A child can be seriously injured or killed in a
crash if the child is not properly secured in the
child restraint. Because there are different
systems, it is important to refer to the
instructions that come with the restraint. Make
sure the child is properly secured, following
the instructions that came with that restraint.
Lower Anchors and Tethers for
Children (LATCH) (Z06 Models Only)
Some child restraints have a LATCH system. As part
of the LATCH system, your child restraint may have
lower attachments and/or a top tether. The LATCH
system can help hold the child restraint in place during
driving or in a crash. Some vehicles have lower and/or
top tether anchors designed to secure a child restraint
with lower attachments and/or a top tether.
Your vehicle does not have lower anchors to
accommodate lower attachments. Your vehicle does
have a top tether anchor. If your child restraint has a top
tether, make sure your child restraint is properly
installed using the top tether anchor and the vehicle’s
safety belt. A child restraint must never be installed
using only the top tether and anchor. Refer to your child
restraint instructions and see Securing a Child
Restraint in the Right Front Seat Position on page 1-40
for instructions on securing your child restraint using
the vehicle’s safety belts.
In order to use the top tether anchors in your vehicle,
you need a child restraint equipped with a top tether.
The child restraint manufacturer will provide you
with instructions on how to use the child restraint and its
top tether. The following explains how to attach a
child restraint with the top tether in your vehicle.
