Protecting Children Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/ Shoulder Belt The lap/shoulder belts in the outer back and front passenger seating positions have a locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat. The following pages provide instructions on how to secure a forward-facing child seat with this type of seat belt. See page 40 for how to secure a forward-facing child seat in the center position on the third seat with the lap part of the lap/shoulder belt. If you have a child seat designed to attach to the vehicle's lower anchorages, follow the instructions on page 47. Improperly placing a forwardfacing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death if the airbags inflate. If you must place a forwardfacing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible and properly restrain the child. If it is necessary to put a forwardfacing child seat in the front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, be sure the child seat is firmly secured to the vehicle, and the child is properly strapped in the seat.
