Protecting Children Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/ Shoulder Belt 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. 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 38 for how to secure a forward-facing child seat in the center position of the third seat with the lap part of the lap/shoulder belt. 1. With the child seat in the desired seating position, route the belt through the child seat according to the seat maker's instructions, then insert the latch plate into the buckle.
