Child Seat Installation Child Seat Installation ATTACHING SAFETY SEATS WITH LATCH (LOWER ANCHORS AND TETHERS FOR CHILDREN) ATTACHMENTS FOR CHILD SEAT ANCHORS (IF EQUIPPED) Some child safety seats have two rigid or webbing mounted attachments that connect to two anchors at certain seating positions in your vehicle. This type of child seat eliminates the need to use seat belts to attach the child seat. For forward-facing child seats, the tether strap must also be attached to the proper tether anchor. See Attaching safety seats with tether straps in this chapter. Your vehicle may be equipped with LATCH anchors for child seat installation at the following seating positions: Connectors on the LATCH child seat and the child seat instructions may use the symbol shown here. Your vehicle seat may have plain buttons, instead of this symbol, to indicate the location of the LATCH lower anchors. The lower anchors for child seat installation are located at the rear section of the seat between the cushion and seat back. The LATCH anchors are below the locator buttons (if provided) on the seat back. Place the passenger seat back in its upright position. Slide the passenger seat rearward to its rearmost position. Place the passenger seat back it its rearmost recline position. Follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions to properly install a child seat with LATCH attachments. Once child seat is attached, rotate the passenger seat back forward to its most allowable upright locked position. 18
