Do not secure a child restraint with a top strap in the right front passenger's position, the second row center position, or the third row outside positions 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 these positions. Lower Anchorages and Top Tethers for Children (LATCH System) Passenger Van Bench Seat (Third Row) Bench Seats: An anchor bracket is located at the rear of the seat cushion near the top rear of the seat leg for each outboard seating position of the second row. For the third row, an anchor bracket is located at the rear of the seat cushion of the center seating position. If you have adjustable head restraints, raise the head restraint and route the top strap under it. If you have a passenger van it has the LATCH system. It has two sets of anchors in the second row of seats. In a seven passenger van, the anchors are located in each of the bucket seats in the second row. In an eight passenger van, the anchors are located in the driver and passenger side seating positions of the second row bench seat. This system, designed to make installation of child restraints easier, does not use the vehicle's safety belts. Instead, it uses vehicle anchors and child restraint attachments to secure the restraints. Some restraints also use another vehicle anchor to secure a top tether strap. 1-54
