Securing a Child Restraint in the Center
Rear Seat Position

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 belt. 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.

CAUTION:

A child in a child restraint in the center front seat
can be badly injured or killed by the right front
passenger air bag if it inflates. Never secure a
child restraint in the center front seat. It’s always
better to secure a child restraint in the rear seat.
You may secure a forward

in the right front passenger seat, but before you
do, always move the front passenger seat as far
back as it will go. It’s better to secure the child
restraint in a rear seat.

See the earlier part about the top strap if the child
restraint has one.
