Installing Child-Restraint
Systems

Accident statistics reveal that a child is
safer in the rear seat. The front passenger's
seat is clearly the worst choice for any
child under 12, and with rear-facing child-
restraint systems it is clearly unsafe due to
air bags.

NOTE

Even if your vehicle is equipped with front
passenger seat weight sensors (page 2-54),
which automatically deactivates the front
passenger air bag, a rear seat is the safest
place for a child of any age or size.

Some child-restraint systems now come
with tethers and therefore must be
installed on the seats that take tethers to
be effective. In your Mazda, tethered
child-restraint systems can only be
accommodated in the three positions on
the rear seat.

Some child-restraint systems also employ
specially designed LATCH attachments;
refer to

Using LATCH Lower Anchor

(page 2-35).

WARNING

Tethered Child-Restraint Systems Work
Only on Tether-Equipped Rear Seats:

Installation of a tether equipped
child-restraint system in the front
passenger's seat defeats the safety
design of the system and will result in
an increased chance of serious injury
if the child-restraint system goes
forward without benefit of being
tethered.
Place tether equipped child-restraint
systems where there are tether
anchors.

q

Anchor Bracket

Anchor brackets for securing child-
restraint systems are equipped in the
vehicle. Locate each anchor position
using the illustration.
To install a child-restraint system, always
follow the instruction manual
accompanying the child-restraint system.

Anchor bracket location

Use the indicated anchor bracket locations
when installing a child-restraint system
equipped with a tether.
