5. To tighten the belt, pull up on the shoulder belt
while you push down on the child restraint. If
you are using a forward-facing child restraint, you
may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on
the child restraint as you tighten the belt.
6. Push and pull the child restraint in different
directions to be sure it is secure.
To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle’s
safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety
belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an
adult or larger child passenger.
Securing a Child Restraint in a
Center Rear Seat Position (Wagon)
If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH System) on page 1-50. See Top Strap
on page 1-46 if the child restraint has one.
If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system,
you will be using the lap belt. Be sure to follow the
instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure
the child restraint when and as the instructions say.
