Seats and Restraints
If the vehicle does not have a rear seat that
will accommodate a rear-facing child
restraint, a rear-facing child restraint should
not be secured in the vehicle, even if the
airbag is off.
{
Warning
Never secure a rear-facing or
forward-facing child restraint in the left
rear seating position in an extended cab
model. This seating position is not
suitable for child restraint installation.
The seat cushion is too short to properly
support a rear-facing or forward-facing
child restraint. A child could be seriously
injured or killed in a sudden stop or
crash.
A rear-facing or forward-facing child
restraint can be installed in the right
rear seating position using the seat
cushion extension in an extended cab
model. Never install a child restraint
in the right rear seating position
without the seat cushion extension. See
Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH System)

Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Rear Seat)
or
Securing Child Restraints (With the Seat
Belt in the Front Seat)
Never secure a rear-facing or forward-facing
child restraint in the left rear seating
position in an extended cab model.
When securing a child restraint with the
seat belts in a rear seat position, study the
instructions that came with the child
restraint to make sure it is compatible with
this vehicle.
Child restraints and booster seats vary
considerably in size, and some may fit in
certain seating positions better than others.
Do not install a child restraint in any rear
seating position where it cannot be installed
securely.
Depending on where you place the child
restraint and the size of the child restraint,
you may not be able to access adjacent seat
belts or LATCH anchors for additional
passengers or child restraints. Adjacent
seating positions should not be used if the
child restraint prevents access to or
interferes with the routing of the seat belt.
The seat in front of an installed child
restraint should be adjusted to ensure
proper installation according to the child
restraint manual.
Wherever a child restraint is installed, be
sure to follow the instructions that came
with the child restraint and secure the child
restraint properly.
Keep in mind that an unsecured child
restraint can move around in a collision or
sudden stop and injure people in the vehicle.
Be sure to properly secure any child
restraint in the vehicle
—
even when no
child is in it.
