If your child restraints are not LATCH-compatible,
you can only install the child restraints using the
vehicle’s seat belts. Refer to “Installing the LATCH-
Compatible Child Restraint System”.
Installing the LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint
System — if equipped
We urge you to carefully follow the directions of the
manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all
child restraint systems will be installed as described here.
Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that
were provided with the child restraint system. The rear
seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear
of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback, and are
just visible when you lean into the vehicle to install the
child restraint. You will easily feel them if you run your
finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
In addition, there are tether strap anchorages at each
LATCH seating position (Refer to “Child Restraint Tether
Anchor”.) Many, but not all, restraint systems will be
equipped with separate straps on each side, with each
having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower
anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the
LATCH Anchors
