outboard position. See Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Outside Seat Position on page 1-50 for more on this, including important safety information. Once you have the top strap anchored, you'll be ready to secure the child restraint itself. Tighten the top strap when and as the child restraint manufacturer's instructions say. Top Strap Anchor Location Your vehicle has top strap anchors already installed for the rear seating positions. An anchor bar for a top strap is located at the rear of the seat cushion for each second row outboard seating position and the anchor bar for the center position bench seat is located on the floor behind the second row seats. If your vehicle has the sliding rear convenience tray, you need to remove a plastic plug and look under the convenience tray to find the anchor bar for the center position for the bench seat. Do not secure a child restraint with a top strap in the right front passenger's position 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. There is no place to anchor the top strap in this position. In Canada, the law requires that forward-facing child restraints have a top strap, and that the strap be anchored. In the United States, some child restraints also have a top strap. If your child restraint has a top strap, it should be anchored. Anchor the top strap to one of the following anchor points. Be sure to use an anchor point located on the same side of the vehicle as the seating position where the child restraint will be placed. If you have an adjustable head restraint, route the top strap under it. If you're using a top strap-equipped child restraint in the center rear seat and need to temporarily transport a flat tire for repair, move the child restraint to a rear seat 1-46
