SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat Position L3U1031A If your child restraint is equipped with the LATCH system, see "Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System)" in this section. See "Top Strap" in this section if the child restraint has one. If your child restraint does not have the LATCH system, you will be using the lapshoulder belt to secure the child restraint in this position. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the child restraint. Secure the child in the child restraint when and as the instructions say. 1) Put the restraint on the seat. 2) Pick up the latch plate, and run the lap and shoulder portions of the vehicle's safety belt through or around the restraint. The child restraint instructions will show you how. L3U1052A L3U1054A 3) Buckle the belt. Make sure the release button is positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 5) To tighten the belt, feed the shoulder belt back into the retractor while you push down on the child restraint. If you're using a forward-facing child restraint, you may find it helpful to use your knee to push down on the child restraint as you tighten the belt. 6) Push and pull the child restraint in different directions to be sure it is secure. To remove the child restraint, just unbuckle the vehicle's safety belt and let it go back all the way. The safety belt will move freely again and be ready to work for an adult or larger child passenger. L3U1053A 4) Pull the rest of the shoulder belt all the way out of the retractor to set the lock. 1-25
