Securing a Child Restraint Designed for the LATCH System 1. Find the LATCH anchorages for the seating position you want to use, where the bottom of the seatback meets the back of the seat cushion. See Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 1-55. 2. Put the child restraint on the seat. 3. Attach and tighten the LATCH attachments on the child restraint to the LATCH anchorages in the vehicle. The child restraint instructions will show you how. 4. If the child restraint is forward-facing, attach and tighten the top tether to the top tether anchorage. The child restraint instructions will show you how. Also see Top Strap on page 1-51. 5. Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, simply unhook the top tether from the top tether anchorage and then disconnect the LATCH attachments from the LATCH anchorages. Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH system see Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) on page 1-55. See Top Strap on page 1-51 if the child restraint has one. For the third row, if your vehicle has a bench seat, there are no top strap anchors in the outboard seating positions. If your vehicle has a 50/50 split bench seat in the third row, there is no top strap anchor in the driver-side seating position. Do not secure a child restraint in these positions if a national or local law requires that the top strap be anchored or if the instructions that come with the child restraint say that the top strap must be anchored. 1-57
