Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat

Installing a LATCH-compatible child seat in the 
rear center seat

Each outer rear seat is equipped with a pair of lower 
anchors which are used to secure a LATCH-
compatible child seat. The rear center seat, however, 
is not equipped with anchors of any kind.
The inner and outer anchors are spaced apart at a 
standard distance of 11 inches (280 mm). The 
distance between the two inner anchors is 15 inches 
(380 mm).
LATCH-compatible restraint systems that are fitted 
with rigid-type attachments cannot be installed in the 
rear center seat. However, a system fitted with 
flexible-type attachments can be installed in the 
center seat, provided that the manufacturer’s 
instructions for that system permit the use of the 
inner anchors with the stated spacing.

WARNING

Using the outer rear seats’ inner anchors to 
secure a LATCH-compatible child seat in the 
center seating position may result in failure 
of the child seat, causing injury or death.

Only use the outer rear seats’ inner anchors 
to install a child seat in the center seating 
position if the manufacturer’s instructions 
expressly permit.
