recline the seatback full rearward and move the seat to its
most rearward position. Install the child restraint accord-
ing to the manufacturer’s directions. Return the seatback
to an upright position. Remove slack from the tether
strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
directions.
WARNING!
An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to
increased head motion and possible injury to the
child. Use only the anchor position directly behind
the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether
strap.
Children Too Large For Child Seats
Children who are too large for child seats and who can sit
upright by themselves should use the lap/shoulder belt
for best protection.
•
Make sure that the child is seated upright in the seat.
•
The lap belt should be low on the hips and as snug as
possible.
•
Check belt fit periodically. A child’s squirming or
slouching can move the belt out of position.
