Protecting Children When properly installed, a rearfacing child seat may prevent the driver or a front-seat passenger from moving the seat as far back as recommended (see page 12). Or it may prevent them from locking the seat-back in the desired upright position (see page 13). In either case, we recommend that you place the child seat in another back seating position, or leave the affected seat unoccupied. If the problem cannot be solved, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat. Installing a Rear-Facing Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder'Belt The lap/shoulder belts in the outer back seats have a locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat. The following pages provide instructions on how to secure a rearfacing child seat with this type of seat belt. See page 35 for how to secure a rearfacing child seat in the center position on the third seat with the lap part of the lap/shoulder belt. For tips on installing a rear-facing child seat with either type of seat belt, see page 36 . If you have a child seat designed to attach to the vehicle's lower anchorages, follow the instructions on page 47. CONTINUED Driver and Passenger Safety 1. With the child seat in the desired back seating position, route the belt through the child seat according to the seat maker's instructions, then insert the latch plate into the buckle.
