Securing a Child Restraint in a Center Rear Seat Position If you have a extended cab or crew cab pickup, you can secure a child restraint in the center rear seat position. If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system, you will be using the lap belt to secure a child restraint in the center rear seat position of an extended cab. 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. Crew Cab When you secure a child restraint in the center rear seat position of a crew cab, you will be using a lap-shoulder belt that works the same way as the safety belts in the rear outside seat positions. For instructions on how to secure a child restraint using a lap-shoulder belt see Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position on page 1-47. Extended Cab There is limited space in the rear seating area of an extended cab model. If you want to secure a child restraint in a rear seat position of an extended cab model, especially in the rear center seat position, be sure to study the instructions that came with your child restraint to see if there is enough room to secure your child restraint properly. If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH system, see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 1-44. See Top Strap on page 1-40 if the child restraint has one. 1. Make the belt as long as possible by tilting the latch plate and pulling it along the belt. 2. Put the child restraint on the seat. 1-49
