1. Find the anchors for the seating position you want to

use, where the bottom of the seatback meets the back
of the seat cushion.

2. Put the child restraint on the seat.

3. Attach the anchor points on the child restraint to the

anchors in the vehicle. The child restraint
instructions will show you how.

4. If the child restraint is forward

facing, attach the top

strap to the top strap anchor. See “Top Strap” in the
Index. Tighten the top strap according to the child
restraint instructions.

directions to be sure it is secure.

To remove the child restraint, simply unhook the top
strap from the top tether anchor and then disconnect the
anchor points.

Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear

If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH
system, see “Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for
Children (LATCH)” in the Index.

You’ll be using the lap

-

shoulder belt. See the earlier 

part about the top strap if the child restraint has one. 
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the
child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint
when and as the instructions say.

1. Put the restraint on the seat.

2. Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder

portions of the vehicle’s safety belt through or around
the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show
you how.

Tilt the latch plate to adjust the belt if needed.

If the shoulder belt goes in front of the child’s face or
neck, put it behind the child restraint.
