GETTING STARTED CHILD RESTRAINTS • Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front. • Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it. Integrated Child Booster Seat • The Integrated Child Booster Seat is located in each outboard second-row passenger seat, is designed for children weighing between 48 and 85 lbs (22 and 39 kg) and between 47 in (119 cm) and 57 in (145 cm) tall. • To position a child into the Integrated Child Booster Seat follow these steps: • Slide the second row seat to the full rear position to use the Integrated Child Booster Seat. NOTE: The second row bench with Integrated Child Booster Seat must remain in the full rear position during use. • Pull the release loop forward to release the latch and seat cushion. • Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt. • Lift the seat cushion up and push back to lock it in the booster seat position. • Place the child upright in the seat with their back firmly against the seatback. • Grasp the latch plate and pull out the seat belt. • Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the seat belt to go around the child's lap. NOTE: The lap portion of the seat belt should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Once the seat belt is long enough to fit properly, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click." • To remove the slack from the lap belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion of the seat belt. 14
